Local telco had a regional DSL outage this afternoon -- when Bbox attempted to upload a Trickle. -113 errors.

P4 3.0, SuSE Linux 9.0 (\'twas top-ranked box until a slower machine running slower Models roared past it today[!]). For whatever reason, CPDN got a shutdown request. Tried several times.

(On re-start, each Model processed ~ a dozen TS and then turned belly-up again.)

When the DSL problem cleared, everything continued normally (except for redundant Trickles) when boinc re-started. (Two times Phase 3 continue processing -- Phew!)

I see a significant problem if the boinc-CPDN interface can\'t distinguish between comm problems and processing problems (if such be the case). The response SHOULD be, \"Can\'t send a Trickle? No biggee -- keep on processing\"; \'twas ever thus in Classic CPDN, eh?

In the trauma/recovery process, the Trickle was uploaded three times. Fortunately, Carl counts only one....

Three more occurrences yesterday (thanks to four DSL outages), one on each of my three Linux boxes: A design flaw, IMO, for Trickle-related comm issues. The Models should be able to continue processing and allow Trickles to pile up.

Why a "quit request" for a Trickle's comm failure? Why the huge initial time delay?

are these BOINC version 4.05, I would try 4.09 as I think it fixes a lot of these oddities. It should be linked on the download page here now.

Hi, Carl,

Roger on the 4.05. I'll install 4.09 after uploads of Models, which are now in Phase 3. (Meanwhile, I'm trusting the ISP's new Routers--> because all eight Models on my four machines required the file-size change...) One puckery change at a time....

Thanks.

Jim
