Check the batch number. If it's closed, then that's the reason.

Those that know how to properly run a BOINC server system would issue a Server Abort signal and that would never happen.

However, a transient http error is not because a batch has been closed and #88 has not been closed.

I think that server abort signal works only for tasks that has not been started crunching yet. Or is there a separate signal for 'Forced Abort'?

'Not started by deadline' is a client-enforced abort. Administrative (server side) aborts are usually unconditional, "started or not" - documented at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CancelJobs

Not sure about that, I had assumed any tasks could be aborted from the server assuming the client contacts the server but, never having gotten further than building the server from source code out of interest, I couldn't be sure and couldn't find the answer quickly in the documentation I have looked at.

I see that Richard has beaten me to it with a definitive answer.

Does this help:-

Yes, it proves that your particular problem is nothing to do with the expired certificate problem - you're not even trying to use https!

I get the same IP address for upload11.cpdn.org, but I don't get a ping response (mind you, many BOINC servers are set not to respond to pings). I don't think even the mods have access to a full current server status board, so this is probably one for the mods to ask the staff about - that server might have got caught up in the networking problems of a few weeks ago.

Edit - your task is a hadam4h, batch 901. I got a couple of hadam4h, batch 920 today - the first in a while. I've checked, and they're also set to send files to upload11.cpdn.org - so it shouldn't be a retired server.

OK, I've just emailed Andy about this.
And my last running task, a batch 901, failed to upload zip 2 overnight. :(
So, where's the queue for the coffee. :)

HI,

both upload 3 and upload11 are the same system under the hood. I just restarted the upload handler and lots of httpd processes have appeared so should be fine now

Kind Regards

Sigh. It just goes to prove that a BOINC project cannot run without an active, involved community base. It's a bit scary that it needs an associate professor to count how many servers are currently out of action. That's a real blocker for the Science United model of anonymous, contact-free, volunteer scientists.

Stuck uploads went OK after a manual retry transfer command. Wierdly zip file 5 from the finished task had uploaded earlier and been registered on the database but obviously the out and retsart zips had got stuck. All now OK (including another task downloaded).

Certificate file problem update.

For any 64 Bit Windows users that did not correct their own crt file BOINC Berkeley has released an official updated BOINC Version dated 17 Oct 2021. This version contains the corrected file.

7.16.20 can be found here

I get about 90KB/s on my bored band. Anything from that up to 200KB if tethering with my phone which is 4G. Load balancing using both gives me up to 250KB total upload speed when I have 2 or more uploads going at once.

I think it's a problem in the western US from this big storm that just hammered us. The ULs keep moving, that's the important thing.

Makes sense, I am afraid unless it really causes a lot of damage/loss of life, weather events where you are don't make the news here.

We don't see much evidence of it in the eastern U.S., just some normal rain, though it is making the news.

(Probably every topic on the CPDN forums will have to be sub-titled "Climate Change in the News" from now on.)

On my 75 Megabit Verizon FiOS connection, I get (right now)

           Timestamp 	          Download    Upload 	    Test Server	
10/25/2021 16:52:39              75.81 Mbps   60.33 Mbps    New York City, NY

Note that these are in Megabits per second, whereas the CPDN web site gives Kilobytes per second.
