Well, my first upload's just finished on this i686 Linux box. Perhaps.

The total set of messages emitted during phase completion/upload (with interweaved junk from the next run removed) was:

Leaving aside the utterly insane bandwidth figures (45Mb/s? On a 22Kb/s-upload ADSL line?) and the gratitous temporary failures in the absence of network problems (is there a really short timeout somewhere?), 90% of the generated zip files haven't been uploaded, and are still sitting on my disk in the projects/climateprediction.net/20qf_100115223 subdirectory.

The server's stats for result 420728 still say `Server state: In progress / Client state: Unknown'.

What's going on? Are the heaps of non-uploaded files needed? Is the upload actually complete? Neither the client nor the server have given me any reason to believe that, but nothing's been uploaded for half an hour now.

Am I jumping at shadows?

The result status on the server will update with your first trickle/communication with the next model. The model leaves about 300 mb of compressed files on your hard drive after it has finished. If you don't have room, you can move it to CD/DVD, or delete it. Occasionally the project investigators will request more files from the model if they find it interesting, but obviously you don't have to keep them or archive them if you don't wish to.

Hi,

The five summary files were successfully uploaded. (Don't know why there were temporary failures but are probably related to server connection.)

The other 365 zipped files are stored on your computer for possible future use. (You can burn them to CD-R or DVD-R if you choose, or delete them for the space, if you must. [If the additional files are required by the team for further study after it was deleted, someone would have to re-run it.] It is recommended that you move the zip'd folder to an Archive-folder outside your boinc folder; that permits faster backups of the boinc folder.)

It will take awhile for the "success" post to occur in your stats, but the credits should already be posted.

HTH.

At the very instant it reported failures with some of them, it was uploading others to the same place. Perhaps the upload server was overloaded and throttling connections, or something?

I have hundreds of unused CD-Rs: this seems like an excellent use for a few of them.

I must confess that I classify the BOINC stuff as `transient' and don't back it up in my regular schedule at all. (Everything's RAIDed anyway, so the chances of hardware failure eating anything are minimal.)

I've never really seen the point of credit-hunting: I'm doing this because as long as the machines are sitting idle they may as well be doing something to help people ameliorate the effects of all the power they're using. :)

I had something similar on the 5th January. My problem was caused by the dialup connection dropping out
several times. The 1st 3 zips failed and were re-scheduled. They were successfully upload after the other
2 finished, and the wu was shown as completed and successful, so I guess the server knowns what it's doing.

BUT....
then zips 1-3 remained in the folder, and there was a set of error messages as follows:

2005-01-05 07:36:24 [climateprediction.net] Couldn't delete file projectsclimateprediction.net25t9_100121870_3_1.zip
2005-01-05 07:40:25 [climateprediction.net] Couldn't delete file projectsclimateprediction.net25t9_100121870_3_3.zip
2005-01-05 07:40:39 [climateprediction.net] Couldn't delete file projectsclimateprediction.net25t9_100121870_3_2.zip

So, when I burnt the 330meg of files to cd, (along with the previous completed wu), I included all
5 upload zips. To be sure, To be sure! (Two wus easily fit on one cd.)

I had to leave this in a hurry. A dog was hit outside, and I had to get her to a vet in a hurry.

To continue. (A bit. When I remember what I was going to say.)

Your results are not yet complete. This will occur at your next trickle, or immediately if you do an 'Update'.

But your result graphs are VERRRRY Interesting!!! as they used to say on Laugh In.

There are a lot of users not sure what to do about the 330meg of files.
It really needs an addendum to the faq file.
And the Tech_Faq needs to be added to the lefthand blue menu to make it easier to find.

Maybe if the admin staff read this.....?
