Since MW keeps acting funny lets all take a guess at why...

There are tribbles in the system... Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 4031 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Or little green alien men disrupting the system so we can't map out the milkyway and uncover them ;) Really sucked this morning when milky, cosmo, and seti all didn't work...never thought i'd end up back at malaria@home!

The server thinks the downloads are complete, my rigs sit there with 20 WU's "downloading" but stuck in limbo. I would blame the routers at MW. One or more are in failing mode. I have had to reset the project on more than one rig to get a new helping of work by deleting the phantom transfers que. Look forward to more trouble.

Also, I have increased the WU times in hopes this alleviates some of our problems. ~Nate~ ID: 4063 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
