Stalling downloads

Voodoo Rufus · Mar 25, 2012

Anybody else having problems with Seti work units stalling out and getting delayed, and slow downloads in general?

Yeah alittle bit, keep having to rety d/l's and use the update command.

I can't get enough cuda wu's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bang head

I had to force downloads the past couple of days... figured it was my connection... I do have a crappy dsl connection so that could've been part of it.
Now I'm losing work - work rollback? Anyone had that before?
I am getting astro-pulse work though.
NM... just checked BOINC and it's downloading more regular packets for me...

Tuesday is maintenance day.

Getting some more packets and uploads are resuming.

I put a 2600k system back on Seti the other day and for a few days, the server was struggling to give me enought work, especially the cuda work for the 8800gts in that box. But it's looking like I am getting more cuda work in for the vid card more regularly now. I was having problems with Rosetta sending that system into swap file hell by requiring enormous amounts of ram for their work units. If they keep that crap up I will be swapping over more machines from their project. It's a crying shame they can't manage their work to where it ties up 1/2 gig+ of ram per instance of the client running.

So Rosetta's loss is Seti's gain.

I'm back having problems getting Seti work downloaded again. And my machine ate up it's supply of already downloaded wus already too.

Something changed!

All my stalled downloads suddenly flushed thru the system!!!

Update: False alarm. I'm back to a fully stalled download cache again. Any improvement was very very short term.....

Aren't there any CUDA wu's out there? I keep running out and resorting to the basic wu's and astro pulses. :bday:

I've received a good supply of CUDA units this week, my cache is currently about 40% CUDA units.

I get about 30% cudas but burn right thru them, then get 1-5 of them every hour or two. Now I'm getting like a couple of hours worth of basic wu's at a time ?!?!?!?!

My intel machine is acting the same way - seems to keep near nothing in cache.
My AMD machine though (which is suppose to have an 8 day work-load) has about 85% CUDA units in cache but I'm guessing only about 2-4 days worth of work there.

I have been constantly getting this problem since I began using it. Downloads would somehow randomly stop halfway through, and they had to be restarted or wait 5-10 minutes for it to automatically retry.

At the moment though it seems all the units are going through fine, d/l at 40KBps - just not getting any Cuda

Yesterday and today, getting nothing on wu's. What's up with it?

Waiting for the staff at Berkeley to get to work and kick the download server....
