rapid-watch seems to be up, but with a big backlog. Like locally, here, almost 100 63GB uploads to go.

Please don't try hitting the "retry now" -- that just makes it worse.

The files will be uploaded, the data will be saved and archived.

Patience is a virtue. As I remind myself time to time.

This time a peripheral server was down for about 5 days, and is catching up very well thank you.

Please consider the time scales of heat-death vs "models that anticipate heat-death"

Yup. Please smile. Thanks.

Yep, you were right, thanks :)

Mine finally cleared betwen 7:00 and 8:30 (UK time) this morning. No new tasks though:-((

...odd behavior of 3n work unit at 100%...elapsed clock still running, completion clock shows "---", status "Running", and no messages about upload attempt...

would this indicate waiting for server or something else ???

frank

The only 3n that you seem to have, has the Time step of 1,036,800 as the last one received.
This is the last trickle_up, so it looks like that one just doesn't know when to call it quits.

You could try Exiting from BOINC and then restarting it, to see if that gets it going and gets you the Over Success Done set of messages, but otherwise just Abort it.

hello les

did the exit/restart of BOINC as you suggested...status changed to "Computation error" and message file said that the 4.zip file could not be found...and that was the end...at 11,508 credits out of 12,440 or so...

on the bright side, none of the wingmen on this task got past zero !!!

frank

Strange, but the only other option was to Abort.

Credits are a different matter. The scripts get run occasionally now, as per the discussion in the Credits? thread.

What do you know, it�s Friday night and we seem to have a upload problem. I presently have 2 zip files from 2 hadcm3s (1 from each) stuck in my transfer tab. I wonder how many I�ll have by Monday?

---

Yes, it seems that the server at BADC has failed.
Been reported.

Friday night server failures are us. :)
Been happening for years.
Hope the denier crew don't get a conspriancy theory out of this

Just had one go through with no problems. :) Someone must have come in on overtime to kick the box.

The BADC server is on an independent site - the British Atmospheric Data Centre - which I would expect would aim for 24/7 operation on normal time.

It's currently showing "The CEDA site and web services have been fullly resolved following this morning's fault interupting services." (though that message is dated two days ago)

It�s nice that the the CEDA says that it it fully up and running, but, I now have 4 hadcm3s zip files stuck in my transfer tab. Still getting the transient HTTP error.

That message just says that the data centre is back up. It says nothing about individual programs and services being run on the possibly many servers.

And, as the Badwatch server that the BADC people use to store the data sent from modellers is far away from Oxford, and nothing to do with our Oxford people, our problem will have to wait until Jonathan sends them an email and the BADC IT people do something about it.

Got another coming up this morning, will see what happens. Interestingly, the last one that made it took 15 minutes which which is several times longer than normal. I wonder if this indicates that the BADC server is choked at some point? Could be anywhere from data going in from the interweb to the actual server.

Got another coming up this morning, will see what happens.

I am now getting the transient http error as well.

Looks like these people work a 5 day work week just the ones at Oxford.Still not movement on the uploads. And it seems that now Seti is down also.

Two more zips gone to BADC server. Again, taking 16 minutes each about twice the time they normally do.

SETI is back up, and all my CPDN uploads have cleared. CPDN upload speed (when I watched the last one uploading) was just about the maximum my ADSL line can sustain, given what else was going on at the time - I can get about 1 Mbit/sec for a single upload, but only 500 Kbit/sec each if there are two uploads active at the same time).

All of mine have cleared also.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this. Every time I restart my computer, I get the above message. I now have a total of 14 trickles, nothing gets updated and now I am beginning to wonder if I should reset as the message says?
