I can confirm that, together with PCs being requested to contact the servers by up to 3 hours later.

Caches beginning to fall as well.

OMG!

Help Travis, kick the servers or we will be outta ....

Nevertheless : MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone !!!

The best advice I can give is to turn panic mode off!

A lot of Boinc projects run out of work from time to time, hey it happens, and for various reasons, but there are ways around the problem. Find a secondary project that you want to crunch for, and set MW preferences to 90% and the secondary project to 10% of processor time.

When MW runs out of work the secondary project automatically cuts in. At all other times you get 90% MW crunching time. Better than no work anywhere at all. I'm sure that Travis will kick the servers as and when he is able to, until then let's give the guys here a break. :-)

Chris, of course you`re right, no project guarantees to always have work.
Regarding my post above, I`m not in Panic Mode at all, the mere coincidence
was worth a smile this morning, though !

Best regards,

Kurt

Well, you have to make the best out of this situation, my other 8 backup projects are still there and waiting, all of them very interesting too !!

Just keep on crunching !

edit : 7 projects, `cause RieselSieve isn`t with us anymore !!!

Just making a point that often two projects aren't enough. Murphy has a way insuring that at some point both will be out of work.
as you can see by my sig I have more than two active projects and my rigs will stay warm crunching for the others through the drought, no panic here.

Maybe BOINC could put in an option to automatically go to a 2nd project (of your choice) when it detected that no work was being done, and then to a 3rd option if no work was being done on the 1st and 2nd, and so on.

Aargh!

Several hours of no crunching from the faster rigs. But got one over to E@H OK. The second rig crashed when the E@H WUs were downloading and now their servers seem to be off line.

Malaria is out of work, and I am away from SETI. But, even if I wanted to crunch there there is no work there either.

Aaargh!

All my projects are unavailable for crunching

Aaargh!

Boinc could use many more options to me.

It would seem that Milkyway has finished the lastest search.

That is the one nice thing about running longer wu's ie: 10+ hours each, It helps and many times for me holds out untill the problems are over. I went to the 10 hour rosetta so I don't need to keep connecting constantly.

Understood, and you`re sure right about Murphy !
Right now 1 of my rigs is crunching the last Setis, another one is set to ABC -
enough work for days to come !

Message 7951 - Posted: 23 Dec 2008, 17:04:52 UTC - in response to Message 7950.  

I've attached to 11 projects over time -- two are no longer alive (Climate BBC and the evil Predictor). But for panic mode scenarios this morning:

MilkyWay -- no new work
SETI -- no new work (and about to go into its weekly 4 hour outage, 16 hour recover from the outage cycle).
Einstein -- offline today (they were having database problems yesterday)
POEM -- suddenly offline today (I can't get to either the Einstein or POEM homepage, let alone their databases).

That reverts me back to four other projects -- Malaria (which tends to be a low yield project), Spinhenge, which has been remarkably steady for me over a long run. Climate - also a long term steady project, Rosetta, which has been ok, and World Grid.

Still that's an adequately extensive trouble list to go to PANIC MODE.

10 hours? Try Climate CPDN - one of these WUs can keep a PC occupied for weeks.
