They're working on it.
Things may progress faster when the May Bank Holiday is over, and Andy is back.

The 3 new batches, 870, 871, & 872 are still open.

The "BOINC deadline" is long to prevent cpdn from hogging the processors, when other very much shorter projects are run at the same time.
This has been posted about for years.

The "deadline" here is, ASAP, so the researchers can do their analysis of the data.
And when they get back enough results, the batch is usually closed to free up server space.

Anyone who hasn't returned their results in a timely manner just misses out.

Thanks for the answer
As my computer isnt on on a daily basis, i am concluding this is not the project for me. And ist saddens me to have to have to delete my data. That it is posted on a forum that computingtime is a.s.a.p. doesnt make it very clear to users like me. Thank you for resurgsing the climate. It is needed, sadly i cant help.

with regards,
Fons

A shorter deadline, something on the order of 4 to 5 months, would seem to be in order as that seems to be how long the Researchers are willing to wait before they close the batches. There is no sense in running models that no one is ever going to look at because the batch was closed by the time you finished it.

Yes, that is my point too. The one-year deadline is just a waste of resources.
I think they do things just because that is the way they have always been done. For a science project, it is a bit curious.

Not sure what, but something still not working. Fresh W/Us, PCs on 24/7... and nothing. Can't upload the trickles. Sometimes they get to 100% but then... nothing.

Did you read what Les Bayliss / Volunteer moderator posted several posts prior above that this has been addressed and will be looked into after the responsibile people return on Tuesday.

The year long deadline may be partly historical. Back when this project started the slow computers (1.2 GHz) single core machines took 8 or 9 months (running 24/7) to complete the very long 160 year models. They needed the long deadlines. Now, not so much.

Just to add to the observations, in case this could be helpful. I have 5 zip files 33 MB in size of wah2 (I think what is called 'trickles' above?) that keep failing to upload the past few days.

it might be a good idea if everyone reading this was to suspend uploads for a day or so, so as to take some of the pressure off the server while it gets caught up. Nothing will be lost.

I expect that the server uploads at some fixed rate. Whether that is a few people fast or a lot slowly probably won't affect the total time much.
They can tell us otherwise if they want to.

May be a bit more than the server getting a bit battered and bruised. None of #870 the first of these to go out have been reported as completed yet.

Plenty of time yet.
They've only been running long enough for "weather", not for "climate." :)

OK, got an idea of length of these now. 32 months, one i5 at 3.3GHz has returned six out of 32 trickle ups so at least a couple of days till the fastest machines complete I would guestimate.

My first model has finished but not reported. The first two zips uploaded and cleared; the remainder, including the restart and 'out' file, occasionally upload to 100% and then revert to 0%.

My remote machines are the same - a couple of successful uploads and the remaining Zips retrying.

Similar to Iain, two tasks have finished on my i7 4770. However, none of the files have uploaded. Some will look to be 100% in the transfers tab for awhile, but won't complete. Sixty eight files waiting to upload.

I reported such to the appropriate people on the project.

My 4 870 tasks are at 93% completion already. None of the trickles are being successfully uploaded. They may get to 100%, but never actually finish uploading.

I now have about 50 zip files that I can’t upload. I am suspending the 8 CP Wu’s running on my 2 machines until they get the server problem sorted out. Back to Rosetta and WCG.

It is fun commiserating when you can't do anything about it. It is like the virus. Neither will be going anywhere for a while.

Is an update on this issue coming? Situation has not resolved for several days.
