Downloading tasks not working?
(Message 5928)
Posted 4 Nov 2022 by UBT - Timbo Post: Nope. Thanks for the feedback. I've been clicking the "Retry" function multiple times, and nothing happens and the task download does not start. Rebooting the host didn't help and hitting "Retry" a few more times did not work after the reboot. So, I've (sadly) "Aborted" the tasks (as tasks from other projects are downloading fine) and at least they will now go back into the "Available" stream, so someone else might have better luck. regards Tim |

Downloading tasks not working?

Posted 4 Nov 2022 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi I have 123 tasks allocated to one of my hosts, but they are not downloading to this host...and I see this in the Transfers tab (of BM): Download: pending (project backoff: xx:xx.xx) It's been like this since 27th October... ! Anyone else having issues getting tasks? regards Tim |

Posted 19 May 2022 by UBT - Timbo Post: With all the global firepower out there I'm shocked there isn't more projects out there to slice the pie further. Either the world has run out scientific endeavors or the importance of what we do is overstated. There are many "problems" associated with running BOINC projects... One needs a suitably good "project" for people to support, with clear aims and goals One needs plenty of actual "real world tasks", in order to satisfy the demand for tasks. One needs plenty of "bandwidth" to be able to feed that demand for tasks One needs reliable and capacious hardware platforms on which to run the project One needs money for admin/support staff to run the server and keep tasks flowing One needs patience to deal with short term problems (as every project will face at some point) (I could go on, but you get the point...) Ticking all of these boxes (and more perhaps) is something that not every project can do...and therein lies the problem - running a BOINC project with limited appeal, off low-end hardware and with little support just doesn't work...and there are a few projects that are like this even now. regards Tim |

Posted 18 May 2022 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi Hi Mikey Indeed...but server hardware is cheap these days, and quality servers can also be donated from users who have upgraded. Having a donation link SHOULD be seriously considered by the admins here, as long as it is correctly documented as to who has donated and what the money has been used for. Maybe have one donation "option" for "hardware upgrades" and another for "admin/staff costs" etc. Either way, given how popular this project is, it is about time they stop relying on ONE server to do everything, as this is where most of the bottle neck is...and it can be made so much better without a lot of cost. regards Tim |

Posted 18 May 2022 by UBT - Timbo Post: The problem is now in very large number of concurrent HTTP connections. Hi I am sure that for just a small-ish outlay, you could have separate dedicated servers for the website and message board and then another one or two for upload/downloads as well as for the validator(s). I am sure there are those within the BOINC community who can help with setting ths up. (The SETI@home project did exactly this and it worked well most days...and that is/was a much bigger project with far more active users and bandwidth). regards Tim |

Few tasks downloading and no connections?
(Message 4065)
Posted 19 Mar 2020 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi all Anyone else having issues with this project? I've got completed tasks to upload and I've run out of new tasks and yet I get this: 19/03/2020 13:42:36 | Universe@Home | Requesting new tasks for CPU The Server Status says that:
and Tasks ready to send 114238 So, where's the "blockage" - I have no issues with my internet connection, plus I can access my account here (else I can't write this message). There's an issue somewhere...but where? regards Tim |

Posted 12 Oct 2019 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi both Same problem here...cannot upload and therefore no more downloads. I've PM'd the admin and hopefully they already know about the problem. Just a shame it has happened when the Formula BOINC Sprint is happening...maybe this "event" is in sympathy with the huge storm in/around Japan, affecting the Formula One race qualification this morning ;-) regards Tim |
