Sorry about the delay. I'm hoping the assimilator will be able to catch up with all the WUs waiting for validation. I'll be keeping an eye on things tonight to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Thanks Travis. One thing I'm noticing is a lot of validation errors from WUs generated on the 28th. Looks like it's happening across the board on many machines.

Looks like there are more issues:

I lost 200+K credits (which i may have earned due to the infamous assimilator/validator bug leading to duplicated credits for many WUs though)

Downloads are failing now

im getting the same failure message on the download, yet the computer is running the tasks anyways w/o error?? Not sure how that will look when it sends it in but i think im going to just hold off on MW for a bit more until they get it fixed.

The first stats dump to Free-DC and BoincStats were probably from an earlier stats run. If you look at your current totals on the MW site I think you'll see that your credits are correct. I'm betting the next stats dump to the above sites will fix everything.

Yes, thanks, i guess you are right. The credit is missing in BoincStats only, my Milkyway account is showing the correct amount.

Both stats sites have been updated and are now showing correct numbers. There are however a lot of WUs from the 28th that have been marked invalid. It's happening on pretty much all machines. You won't see too many at a time because soon after they're marked invalid they get deleted from the database, not a good idea.

Figured some of these out. WUs from the 28th are getting resent to validate, only they're not able to be downloaded. Thus all the DL errors, finally they reach the error limit and are marked "too many errors". This explains many but not all of the massive error count from the 28th.
