Yesterday I have just uploaded my first sulphur zip files, can anyone tell me how big they are? I am asking this because mine started to upload at 21:14:04 and did not finish until 21:19:19. That is over five minutes, I am using broadband so the rate was at 27759 bytes per sec. My calculations put it at around 8M is this correct?

---

That\'s about right. My two are 8.4M and 2.4M. 6 more trickles before I find out the size of the 3rd zip.
They\'re a lot bigger than slab.

I think it is only the first that is 8MB the others are all about 2.4MB.

The one that I have waiting at the end of Phase 4 is 2.4 Megs. Looks like it will be a big one at the end of Phase 5 though.

Ray,
IIRC, final upload on Phases 5 was again just about 2.5 Megs which makes all phases upload to fit 20 Megs in total.

If there is only 20 megs sent in, which files should we zip and archive for storage? My dataout folder is now at 1.98 Gig in size, and the zip backup at phase 5 trickle 177 was 1.22 gig. The backup was of the complete Boinc folder includeing 3 projects. I figure that the dataout would be about .9 gig when completed and zipped. That will be a pain to put into 2 zip files to put on 2 CD\'s.

Ray,

I am not sure about this, but my memory tells me that the expected size of the Sulfur model\'s save zips will be about 600M, Slabs are 300M and change.

Actually, a completed sulphur model is zipped down to a little less than 1 GB at the end, but it can get up to 2.5 GB right before that.

Correct,
@ Ray and others: you may try to re-RAR the completed model package.
Slab went down from 340MB Zip files to 288MB RAR (best compression) so 85% of the original.
Sulphur use gZIP compression and went down from 1000MB gz to 882 MB RAR. Still will not fit to a single CD...but one may put 5 re-RARed SC models to a DVD-R instead of 4 original ZIPped.

Mine will finish up tomarrow 03 Jan. 2006. Will zip the models folders and save on one of the spair HD\'s that I have. I have 3 spair HD\'s on the shelf, may as well put one to work. Don\'t have a DVD burner yet, but someday. There is plunty of room for keeping them all on ether of the systems also, but don\'t like to store there.

At timestep 250,531 of Phase 5 the output folder is at 2.29 Gig in size. Will be out all night, so will stop it to be here when it finishes.

This one went bad on 17 Sept. 05, but I had a two day old backup to restore and not louse most of the time that I had put into it. Will the results page correct itself after it is completed? Now is says:
Over Client error Downloaded 2,958,481.00 18,960.21 18,960.21

But as everyone says you can still complete a work unit that went bad as long as you have a good back up to restore.

My first completed one so far, the other system has one in Phase 2 at this point. May give this system a brake from Sulpher for a while and get another near the end of Jan., give Rosetta more time for a while.

Unless something changed, once stigmatized, always stigmatized. Credit will reflect full run stats, though. (I have some successfully-completed Runs logged as errored on the Results page.)

As far as the science is concerned, it matters not a whit what is on the Results page. They\'re separate data bases; one for science, one for stats.

Consider it a badge of honor, Ray; the Model crashed somewhere along the way but you had a backup and sent it on its way again: Another Phoenix risen.

That is always a good way of looking at it. Had to restore that one 2 times, the 2nd time lightning hit the power lines here, took out the degital TV converter, microwave and the UPS. But the UPS did it\'s job of protecting the computer even if I had to restore the backup again. Two mounths into it, that would have hurt even though I had credit for what was turned in. The work is more important them the credit.

I got the model turned in today, will wait a couple weeks before starting another. But I did increase the amount of time given to the model I have running on the other system so I will still be turning in one trickle a day. Feels good finally having one completely finished, that is better than when I get the credit.

Cheers
Ray

Congrats! Every finished Model helps the cause.

The results page will still show an error for that Work Unit but will also show full credit -- and the science team gets what it needs from your effort.

Two recoveries and Run completed; a fine example of the value of backups, Ray.
