yep the assimalator is not assimilating!

Looks like it is now as there's work coming through, but is the validator validating? Seems every WU is going into pending at the moment (and staying there).

I've got almost 150 WUs sitting in pending right now, and the server status shows 0 waiting for validation.

My pending is slowly reducing, so they are coming down.

The database crashed the other night, and it's extremely overloaded. I've been running a purge so it's going to be a bit slow until thats done (4 days and counting deleting WUs from the database).

Can anyone give me any idea on how long the current problem with no work being available so often is likely to continue. Owing to a problem with my ISP I am having to use a dial up service at the moment so cannot remain connected all the time. Obviously this means I frequently connect at a time when no wor is available.

Would the purge finish quicker if you took the project down for a few hours? I can't speak for everyone else, but I'd rather have the project not available for a few hours, after which it runs smoothly, then it not issuing work one minute, not validating the next, and so on in a vicious circle

With Yoda I agree. ;)

In a similar vein, there was a thread on the Technical Board over at SETI that basially said "Shut it down for 10 hours, or have intermittent workunits for over two weeks..." {Mind you, it was for a RAID resync, but still.)
