It should not have gone to a one week backoff unless it had 4 consecutive failures getting the master file list. And that usually only happens when the servers are unavailable for an extended period of time. Normal deferrals should not go more than a few hours. I think you may have had problems on your end because as far as i can tell from my logs, the LHC servers have not been down lately.


Thanks for the information. I just deleted the project and tried to connect again, but I get a message saying the project is temporarily unavailable. :(

I can't connect

It is OK. The boinc client increases the connection intervall on every non successfull connection attempt. For example if no work is available or the boinc client could not connect to the project servers.
This should prevent that the boinc clients made a "DDOS attack" by flooding the projects servers with requests.


While that idea isn't bad, I don't think it is ok.
With the current setup it is very likely that my client will never get any work. When LHC has work the workunits are gone very fast, in under 167 hours.
So if I'm not lucky and retry communication exactly when LHC has new work units, I will always be without.

Hi,

how do I turn off the communication deferred stuff?

Currently the LHC communication is deferred by 167:59:10
And the number will increase rather then should there be no work avaialbale in 167 hours and 59 minutes. :(

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Christian
4) Message boards : Number crunching : team emaillist not available in xml? (Message 13632)

on the boinc main page there is a linethat says this is available but when i try it's not in xml, can this be done?

some info:
Get team member list
project/team_email_list.php?teamid=X&account_key=Y&xml=1
action: Show list of team members. If account key is that of team founder, show email addresses.


I'm trying very hard to think of possible reasons why it should be so easy to collect so many valid e-mail addresses, but the only reason I can think of is to send spam e-mail.

Please don't make it too easy to collect e-mail addresses.

Christian
