Last modified: 12 Jun 2009, 11:54:49 UTC I've also had DOWNLOAD transfers go into retry mode. Me to. I'm struggling with my CPU crunchers. It takes ages to upload the results, and download can't start until upload completes. Then they don't start crunching for ages as download transfers go into retry, even at 100%. Never mind, I'm getting a new bike today and I'd rather be biking ;) ID: 25140 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Also, as I mentioned in another thread, there could be a work stall coming up due to enough of us with CPUs-only getting tasks and taking longer to process them, then running into difficulty uploading and reporting...

I'm not so sure which is worse - not getting the work or spending oodles of time micro-managing it when it comes. I have to admit I have other stuff to do apart from trying to get a turn-around on uploaded and downloaded work. ID: 25145 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The longer wu's sure help the situation. Yes, that they did... Same situation as what can happen over at SETI with the "shorties"... Still say though that it is unwise to not split the project, as eventually as people add more processing power, we'll get into similar situations... ID: 25206 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
