I think I know what's causing this. Recently many ATLAS WU were cancelled on the ATLAS side, so even though the input files were removed it looks like the WU were not properly cancelled on the BOINC server. I will check why this is not working properly and fix it.

On my side, out of the 4 files that are downloaded for each WU, all download OK except the big one (200Mbytes or more).
We are the product of random evolution.

Message 37555 - Posted: 6 Dec 2018, 7:20:32 UTC

This morning one of my clients got stuck with the following message:
Do 06 Dez 2018 06:39:44 CET | LHC@home | Temporarily failed download of jf_25987fd8f8e73d45af1bb48d3c3e33a9: transient HTTP error

The filename without any extension seems to be unusual for an ATLAS tasks.

Reference:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=104421083

I had to cancel the download manually.
Other volunteers may be aware that the same WU is still active and could lead to a download lock.

@David Cameron

Could be a good idea to query the server DB for those malformed filenames and cancel the WUs before they are sent out again and again.

Thanks in advance.

We got another burst of cancelled tasks - I'm cancelling them on the BOINC server now.

David,
we have download-errors from 2018 June and July in our stats from Atlas:
WorkUnit not found, for example:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=199995337
Before this months come again in 2019,
is it a lot of work to eliminate them from the database?
Thank you.

Seeing a lot of these download errors today.

As a side note, it says Max number of errors is 3 but it always seem to download a 4th attempt which also fails.
Shouldn't it stop and bug out when it hits 3 errors ?

Example here: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=111108234

Seeing a lot of these download errors today.

I just attached a machine again to get native ATLAS. The first one gave a download error, and then the next four were OK.
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=221919833

The failed WU errored out on all four machines that got it.
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=111105143

EDIT: At around the same time, I got four Native Theory failures also, but with a different error message. I don't know if there is any relationship or not.

I'm getting some download errors for tasks that had a timeout on the first Host they were sent to. So files disappeared from server after one week.

I am seeing this too.
All my download failures are tasks of WUs of which an earlier task failed by "Timed out - no response".

Message 40035 - Posted: 27 Sep 2019, 10:12:06 UTC - in response to Message 40033.  

Ok, I found the problem. Our system for submitting tasks to BOINC had a timeout of 7 days on running tasks, after which it would cancel them and remove the input files. The BOINC deadline for ATLAS tasks is supposed to be 7 days but I see that they are actually timed out after 8 days. So this means that any task timing out would have the input files removed and hence the problem with downloads for retries. I've fixed this by increasing the timeout to 9 days on the ATLAS systems. When a WU times out it goes back to unsent and this timeout resets, so the problem should disappear.

That's good news. Could this explain the sudden spike on number of running jobs in the graphs? I hope so.

Do you mean an increase of tasks in progress?
This is due to a Formula Boinc sprint.
