Something not quite right with this model
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=10497540
which finished at 14:41 on 26th. The final trickle has not been received (recorded in results) and the final zip file cannot get uploaded.

Here are the messages recorded when it finished. The failed messages are repeated as it keeps attempting to upload.

Server status is ok. Several other HadSM3 and SM3MH models are tricklng up AND zip file uploading on other machines.
This suggests an issue with the specific PC but only CPDN related as it is successfully uploading completed WUs in WCG.

Ideas welcome!

I\'ve had several similar issues recently, including a reluctant 10 year zip with a 160 year CM this morning, but they have all cleared in the end. Sometimes in an hour and sometimes next day. I have noticed a correlation with other use of the Internet connection, almost as though it doesn\'t like sharing the bandwidth, even though I have 6meg connection. So I usually close down email client, web browser, etc if it happens before giving it another try.

Plus, cross fingers

EDIT (missed the 60 minute cutoff for editing a post) !

Posted the above having never experienced this before (and not finding same problem in forum).
Resolved by exiting BOINC. Did usual backup after every exit (note - always copy BOINC data folder to a different drive,
then copy back again to working drive). Restarted, hit \"retry now\" in transfer tab and, voila, it worked and final trickle duly recorded.

Very odd one.

EDIT No. 2 (after seeing Lockleys post).

Ok, but I thought 20 hours was a bit long to wait, considering no other connections (overnight). Perhaps some contention sharing BOINC with WCG?
Not to worry, another one bites the dust - phew!
