Hey friends,
i begin to suspect that the problem is somehow related with some of the hops from your location to the destination server - which became only noticeable because of the size of the files.
At my location .- Germany - i can use the maximum of my given upload rate.
I had none of the problems you've described above, which leads me to this conclusion.

However, Pete has already pointed out the right thing - as long as the project demands mean to upload files like that, they have to be crunched by the guys which are in the lucky upload situations like me.
Which means that there are other projects for which the cores of these guys are actually not working for.

There is work enough for all.

Thank you for your explanation!
So, in short, we are simulating a universe and look if the x-ray sources are in the simulation, where they were observed in the real universe, right?

I would recommend that crunchers with slower internet speed or limited bandwidth to down load fewer tasks. I have noticed that a small portion of users were downloading a disproportionate amount of WUs. Anecdotally I came across a computer that had downloaded about 1000 WUs out of a 16000 WU batch!


I agree with that, it is obviously the underlying cause of some of the described problems above.
Calculation time per Wu lies between 3-5 hours, with having four days deadline.
The uploading_slower_than_deadline problem would mean nearly impossible low upload rates.
Impossible because, they will be disconnected, i've already tested it.

He has already answered that:

"I know that results files are large, but is nothing what I can do with this at the moment (the files are compressed, before compression they are up to 400MB together)."
