1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 94594) Posted 16 Apr 2020 by Ian Post: I'll check, but as far as I am aware, the connection goes straight onto the internet via a firewall. What I don't understand is that Rosetta is the only BOINC project that I have this issue with - I am connected to several. Do they not all share the same upload infrastructure (and acknowledgement message)? I could understand the behaviour if the ACKs were not getting through for any BOINC projects. Is there a particular port that the response comes through that is peculiar to Rosetta? It looks like my contributions for this host are not getting credited looking at the host average page - I see a flat line. Interestingly the contributions for my home machine do get through though, which would seem to point to something blocking the upload response somewhere.

If I exit this and retry the upload, I see the same behaviour - the upload does not seem to be blocked at all - the progress bar goes up to 100%, it just doesn't ever get removed once the upload is complete. Windows moans about there not being any virus checking active, so the virus checker is seemingly off at this point (well as far as Windows can detect). Same behaviour with the Windows firewall off, just sits at 100% progress. If I leave it for a bit I get a project backoff message, so maybe it is just load on the server end. I have been having this for a while though, before the current interest in covid 19 work. One other point of note is that I do have the upload rate throttled to 500KBps as it is on a shared network if that makes a difference. Temporarily turing this off does not fix the issue however.

What seems to happen is that the upload looks to have proceeded normally, but then sticks at 100% and never gets removed from the transfer queue. The net effect of this is that BOINC eventually runs out of disk space as it is all in use by pending Rosetta uploads. Rosetta is the only BOINC project I have this issue with. I have tried suspending/restarting uploads as suggested in another thread. I have also tried resetting and deleting and re-adding the Rosetta project entirely, but I have the same issue. Running on Windows 10, latest BOINC client. Does anyone have anything I can check or try in addtion to the above? Thanks, Ian
