I seems the upload server of this WU http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=8480442 is not working well. It goes to 100% them it gives the following error: 01/05/2013 08:09:15 | climateprediction.net | Started upload of hadam3p_eu_q4z2_2004_1_008329581_1_1.zip 01/05/2013 08:14:53 | climateprediction.net | [error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open file /storage/incoming/uploader/hadam3p_eu_q4z2_2004_1_008329581_1_1.zip: No such file or directory 01/05/2013 08:14:53 | climateprediction.net | Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_q4z2_2004_1_008329581_1_1.zip: transient upload error 01/05/2013 08:14:53 | climateprediction.net | Backing off 4 hr 9 min 39 sec on upload of hadam3p_eu_q4z2_2004_1_008329581_1_1.zip I've suspended the WU until this uploads well.

No need to suspend the work unit, just network activity to save bandwidth and the remote possibility of too many upload attempts. - It will I think still try and upload periodically even if the work unit is suspended. If you have other projects that need to upload, you can just limit when network activity is available which will stop it making too many attempts, then the others can upload during the window. |

Didn't go this morning but both plus one other have gone this afternoon so all back to normal. Thanks mods and techies who sorted it all out. |

Was traveling so I did not check for 3 days, but I see that my units uploaded all trickels this morning. I must have been the reboot of Apache that did it. Keep on crunching Pizza@Home |

The time limit for uploading files from any project was extended. I can't remember whether the limit is now two or three months, but in any case it's far longer than we need. It's 90 days. But, but, but... each file is still only allowed 100 upload attempts, after which it expires. That's the BOINC rule. 100 is plenty but please don't use up the files' lives by repeatedly pressing the Retry now button in the Transfers tab. The files come to no harm while they wait. I've never seen anything to a "100 upload attempts"-rule, and seeing how a file can easily reach this limit in 4 days (assuming re-tries once per hour), it wouldn't make any sence to increase the limit from 14-day to 90 days in this case. To do a little test, blocked internet-connection and hit "retry" on a SIMAP-upload 110 times... no problem. Did a little editing, and, as BoincTask happily shows, it's now retried... 1234567 times, hits retry, 1234568 times, 1234569 times, 1234570 times, 1234571 times... Since 1234567 >> 100 I didn't see anything to any 100-retry-limit on uploads... |

I'm sure you're right. Apparently Nicol�s also thought the limit was 100 and looked in the BOINC code but couldn't find any limiting number of attempts. There are certain things that BOINC only allows 100 times and some of us must have assumed that the same limit applied to uploads without ever seeing the code. You have exploded an urban myth!
