I had been trying all day to get some work units uploaded. Unfortunately none of them seem to be getting "Received" and credited. Has anyone else been seeing this problem along with all the other communication issues this weekend?

Uploading is an issue, but those that do manage to get returned are being credited quickly enough - no problem there. It's taken most of the day, but my completed WUs have all eventually found their way to the server. It's not the worst problem in the world unless you're close to deadline. They'll all go through eventually.

It's just those downloads that keep failing...

It doesn't look like it's much better this morning, all files but this one are O.K. which is a problem because it's the biggest - all 27 plus MB's.

Trouble is that this database is used by all 1.86 WUs, so when it fails none of the other downloaded parts count. Frustrating. I think I'm down to my last 12 hours work...

Hi Sid.

What a great weekend!

Getting this now just to top it all off.

p.p.l. you can always download more work and store it on your system and then you will never run out unless its a long outage on the server.

just change either your RAH user settings or the boinc manager network usage.
i store an extra 5 days or work on my system this way, came close to running out but never ran out of work.

I keep 5 days worth on my systems, and they are bone dry.

Not any more... :(

I have just started crunching Rosetta@home due to the poor performance of SETI@home recently. I have 5 machines with 12 processors between them waiting to crunch something!!

Oh well back to SETI I suppose.

I'm getting 1.87 tasks now, and they seem to be crunching.

The server is very slow at the moment. I expect it will catch up after a while and then things will be back to normal.

The mass exodus from Berzerkely has apparently overloaded most other projects.

I am attached to several, and am not able to get work on most of them. Fortunately, between them all, enough is flowing to keep most boxes with enough work.

Whatever is going on, I'm out of work for Rosetta and Folding's gpu client. I'm running Folding's regular client just to have something to crunch. I'm almost ready to shut the computer off for an extended period of time for the first time in 3 years.

Really? I just got my first WUs and the download failed, the same as before :(

'Server down' messages again:

There are still problems by the look of it.

I just had my quad D/L the exe and two tasks, but no DB zip for some reason so

the tasks errored strait away. So i have done a reset to see if that helps.

Yes, well spotted. I wondered why it said "Download failed" when everything seemed to come down ok.

Still getting nothing here.

I am seeing the same problems. One of my machines was totally empty - I suspended all other projects (for the fifth time). This time I had extra time to stick around and after about four hours it picked up a few. My other machine has one uploading (not successful after two tries) and has one which it finally downloaded this morning. I have my prefs set for 6 days of work and it gave me one work unit which it states has a 4 hour time to completion. On this machine with 200 to this and 100 to just one other project - I would expect it to be finished in 6 hours - max.

Try increasing your target CPU run time in your preferences. This reduces the amount of server contact required. I have mine set to 16 hours and I seem to be able to get work. Maybe there are more of the longer workunits available.

Maybe there are more of the longer workunits available.

...that's not it. The workunit itself is identical regardless of your target runtime. The work unit itself enforces the runtime for you. It does this by starting a new model on the same protein until the runtime target is estimated to be exceeded by doing another model.

Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense

Why is it that when the server goes "down" the status on the home page does not change? is it an interal issue with the server that is not bad enough to trigger a status change or is it that the server has to be "offline" completely?

It's confusing to see in messages that the server is down but the server status page is all green.

any ideas?
