I just completed WU Hadam3p_eu_2tlp_1996_1_008161279_0.

I know that one of the upload severs is down. Zip files 8,9,10,11 and 12 are backed up in the transfer tab and will remain there until the upload server is back on line. That�s not my problem.

The problem (if there is one) is that I can�t find any trace of zip file 13. It is not in the transfer tab. I can�t find any trace of is in event log either. Did it somehow get lost.

I know that this is a very important file as it contains the dump that allows the server to generate the next segment of the model. I have a recent backup so I can do a restore and run it to the end again if that would create the missing file

This is the event log for the above posting. As you can see zip files 11 and 12 were created and tried to upload, but, couldn�t because of the non-working upload server. What I don�t see is any mention of zip 13. The WU is still listed at 100% and �ready to report�.

The _13.zip files for EU models are sent to a different upload server from the _1 to _12 files. That server is still running, and my _13 files have uploaded too.

If you are running a recent version of BOINC, it will try every new file transfer once (upload or download), even if other files and the project as a whole is in transfer backoff. That's designed to cope with exactly the situation we're in this morning, with one upload server out of action but others working.

How thoroughly did you search your message log? I'd expect that the _13 file uploaded some time before the section you posted - it's generated before the task reaches completion.

On the other hand, I'm surprised that you say the task is 'ready to report'. Mine (with _13 uploaded but earlier files stuck) are still showing as 'uploading'. That sounds as if the model possibly crashed during the last few minutes. Try to avoid reporting it before the upload server is fixed (supposed to be today, if the delivery arrives in time) - then you can complete the uploads, and look at the outcome afterwards.
