What are your resource shares? Did any of those projects just come off a 'dry spell"? Hi Paul, I'm running Cels Rosetta WCG SETI I currently have 0 Cels WU's 0 Rosetta WU's 0 WCG WU's SETI is uploading but not downloading I have reset all bar SETI Resource Shares are: Cels 9.88% Rosetta 33.33% WCG 31.37% SETI 25.41 Confusing or what? They stopped downloading WU's a couple of days ago, thought it might be server probs but now I haven't got a clue Cheers for the quick reply TC ID: 52395 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The resource shares seem "reasonable" in that they spread the load around several projects. I am not sure I would have been able to help much more, but I knew the INITIAL questions to ask ... so that someone else could help ... :) But, you got going on your own ... cool ...

They stopped downloading WU's a couple of days ago, thought it might be server probs but now I haven't got a clue Hmm, it looks like you had around 250 SETI-wu's at time of reset, meaning even on a quad-core it's maybe 5 days of cached work... So, chances are your client was in deadline-trouble, this shows as "Running, high priority" on Task-tab. A client in deadline-trouble can in some instances block all work-requests until not in deadline-trouble any longer, or idle cpu... "I make so many mistakes.

I used to like to have about 5 projects with roughly the same resource shares i that I am more agnostic about projects than most people ... I am not that fanatical about any one project over another ... Well, I am more fanatical about projects that support OS-X than those that do not ... :) ID: 52408 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yes, but ... You have to let the system work ... in this case you are trying to "force" the capture of work... and ... the system is telling you to be patient. If the last comm is too recent, you have to wait until the delay period passes ... ID: 53008 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

To prevent the servers from getting flooded, BOINC enforces a wait between requests. By now, the problem has cleared up on it's own. The client eventually waits long enough and the project sends work. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 53009 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Ah, the "client doesn't wait long enough before re-ask"-bug, a quick look reveals this was fixed in v5.10.23, while one of your clients is still running v5.10.20... So, upgrading your BOINC-client will fix this problem. "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might." ID: 53022 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
