The first one crashed when I switched on the graphics and clicked to full sreen mode. This is a known problem but it seems to be continued. Happy crunching ! J. from Germany ID: 17450 · Reply Quote

I only put 1 on each box to make sure all was well! THE MASSES ARE HURNGRY!!! :O) A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory ID: 17453 · Reply Quote

Maybe someone should figure out how to better allocate work units. Why should someone with the computing horsepower be able to capture all the available work units just because they are constantly online with their systems? We are looking into this. The thing is it is not just being online all the time (I'm on 24/7 and only got one WU to crunch on the last run). Some people who use BOINC change their settings/tweak what information they submit to hog the WUs, this could be seen as cheating or as creativity, depends on your viewpoint. I personally would prefer to see each user get one WU per host per run and if there is work left to have it shared out the same way. This is not just an LHC@home issue, it is more apparent here because of our limited WUs though. BOINC already has a way to limit how many workunits a host can have at a time - but I'm guessing you still have an old (ancient, actually) server version. ID: 17471 · Reply Quote

FYI, if you download the very latest server code and create a new project, upload/download always shows disabled on the server_status page, even if it's enabled. I'm guessing your two-year-old BOINC server does the same too ;) ID: 17472 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 21 Jul 2007, 11:36:23 UTC I was one of the lucky ones - got 3 wu. One is finished but is still sitting in Transfers, upload appears stalled. Next one is almost finished. If it gets stalled as well, should I try the third one? Incidentally, I am having the same problem with SETI, but all other projects run fine. ID: 17484 · Reply Quote

When, exactly, did you solve the problem? I think it's safe to say they "thought" they solved the problem! :) That's just an example why this test run could do some good! It is kind of interesting that ~10% of the work in the test batch is now queued for retransmission after only a couple days - seems like a high error rate to me!
