LHC@home

I noted that the server status page takes some time to show (around 5 seconds, sometimes even 15 seconds). Is it generated every time it is requested? Or is it cached?

Sorry for the upload problems. Hope somebody here will
fix this soon. (I thought we had a new record number
of WUs in progress! :-) Eric.

WTF?? Here we are on the brink of losing thousands of hours of CPU time and all you can say is that you hope somebody here will fix this soon?

Hey, numbnut, what we need to hear is that you got whoever it is that can fix this on the phone 2 minutes ago and he's on the case NOW. The only thing you should be hoping for is that we don't all detach this sorry excuse for a project and send you begging for a grant from Bill and Melinda Gates so you can PAY FOR YOUR TASKS TO BE CRUNCHED.

This project has, from day one, been the most f*cked up waste of CPU time in all of BOINCdom. First it was that braindead IR > minQ policy, now you're STILL INSERTING RESENDS AT THE TAIL OF THE QUEUE and you're dumping tens of thousands of tasks into the queue when it's quite obvious the system can't handle it. Then you walk away and don't check on it for days. You should be crunching these tasks yourself so that you can see if the server's fallen over. You should be reading this forum at least twice a day to see if others are encountering problems. Instead you go hide and... what?.... choke yer chicken?

Project down for maintenance.
Sigh

So what happens when a task does run beyond its deadline? Apologies if this has been asked before.

I have a task that is only 45% completed and close to its deadline. Should I abort it now and stop wasting time or should I let it run?

I don't care about credits very much, although more credits are always better.

More on the way :-)

Excellent...I need my 100K (and more)! :D

Am I realy the only one with this problem?

I don't know but in the last 24 hrs I haven't noticed any uploading problems on any of my hosts. Also, there don't seem to be others with the same problem. I would think this makes it rather likely that the problem is somewhere at your end.

In another thread you mentioned that your firewall was complaining about the download of the executable. Is it possible that it's also messing with uploads? Have you tried completely disabling it temporarily to see if it makes any difference?

Another thing to try (if your computer is reasonably portable) is a friend or colleague's internet connection to see if that gets things moving.

Just some random thoughts ...

I got 3 SSE2 WU's one is ready after 6 hours and 2 minutes.
But, yes you guess, it won't upload, 36.36% and that's it.
Just like the other bunch my PC's crunched.

Well I like the LHC but I will give the time to Rosetta to something for medicine, because my patiens with this project is totally over, at least for the rest of the summer...
I will wait one more our if it uploads and then I quit the remainder and detach this pc as well for the last time..

Bye

PS: and a new WU runnig high priority as it takes 22.50 hour the complete (deadline 19 July (wich I never meet as it won't upload))

If some users are still experiencing problems then please post the main error messages. The filesystem full issue has been resolved and so has the write permissions. Any details would be helpful

Thanks Pete, Upload has completed on that file, but it is now validation inconclusive along with 2 others http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=1765377

Should SixTrack v443.07 validate against SixTrack v444.01 ?
