1) Message boards : Number crunching : Project File Upload Handler Is Missing (Message 69265) Posted 12 Jan 2011 by spamhasser Post: 1) credit : It is nice to compete or compare but if you crunch for fun or science you would do it even with 0.0000001 credit per year of cpu-time. IMHO i hope to help science to find something to help other human beings on this small planet. And if someone likes to hunt cobblestones and is not interested in the science he/she should keep hunting them, because it will help science too. 2) communication : THAT is the fact that is really bad right now. I don't expect excuses, i don't expect totally exact predictions when the system will work entirely perfect again, but i expect a status message at R@H main page. (At least with a correct date - I for myself need to get used to 2011, but it may be a little bit confusing that the only message due to the SAN-problem is from 7 Jan 2010(!). So i feel free to complain about that. I do not want say the project leaders/administrators are doing a bad job, but they have the ability to get better in some cases. If R@H keeps us generally informed (most simple way via homepage), R@H should be supported by donations, cpu-time and constructive ways of criticism! 3) hardware failures : they may happen, and if they would happen in a predictive way, i am sure that R@H maintainers would be prepared to prevent downtimes. Think of all the small bits and bytes pacing through the world, transporting worthy information, sitting stuffed together on turbulent rotating discs and if 2 or 3 of his fellow bits got lost he might be worthless dying without a funeral or a "thank you". Now it is time for me to say "Thank YOU... ... for the idea to help each other with donating cpu-time ... for the consciousness that many small things can achieve great ... for all the time the servers where up and working fine Thinking positive doesn't make the world better, but it can prevent you to go insane.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : minirosetta 2.17 (Message 69204) Posted 12 Jan 2011 by spamhasser Post: Since the last rosetta-crash i can't upload anything to rosetta's server. Mi 12 Jan 2011 02:43:24 CET rosetta@home Project file upload handler is missing The upload is stuck after 2,26% (0,31 of 13,48 kB) Is there anything i can do to get it done? If "waiting for someone solving the problem on rosetta's end" is the solution then i will shut up and wait a bit (or a byte if the duration is higher ;-) ) But if i have to do anything else than wait (e.g. resetting rosetta), let me know :) (It is still winter here and my CPU should not get cold) Thx in advance
