Looks like they have a problem again....sending work out OK but not accepting work back. See what next week brings.


Keep clicking retry, I had to click almost a dozen times in a row but the files finally went thru, now I only tried sending one at a time not the whole half dozen in the transfers tab. After I finished one file I clicked to send the next one, I had time as I was doing a dozen pc's at the same time.


Thanks I wasn’t clicking enough times…..eventually got them go….

Does it matter? Just keep crunching and let them pile up, somebody will sort it eventually.

There's always an enormous queue waiting on us, why get upset when there's a tiny queue waiting on them?


No it probably doesn’t, just making an observation..

Are you able to upload the results of those Covid tasks? Can't upload the results of my MCM tasks yet.


I have uploads patiently waiting…as they have been since 28th February.

Thankfully I have a very low number of WU's patiently waiting to be uploaded. Once they are gone that's it. I note on the news site they are busy assembling the next load of WU's for SCC to be processed once they are back up, somewhat ambitious to me but perhaps a laudable aim.

Seems like WCG has problems been down for two days so far. Anyone heard anything ?

Looks like the relevant switches are back in the ON position.


Oops maybe not.


I'm not convinced yet they actually know how to run a Boinc Project


Think there is a growing number that would agree with that. No work today it seems.

WCG seems to have stopped sending updates to Boincstats as well. Been like that for a week I would say. It has been raised on the relevant thread but no comment from Krembil.


Projects don't "send" the stats, they create a file that all the stats sites then download that shows our stats, Krembil has probably stopped creating the file for some reason so no stats.


Thanks for that Mikey…I guess whatever they were doing they have stopped. Looking at the number of messages in their forums I get the distinct impression they are overwhelmed with the whole WCG project.


I think so too BUT the Africa Rainfall tasks do seem to have stopped backing off on their transfers, at least in the last 2 days they have


Doesn’t seem to be any work at all today, at least we can continue here.


Yup mine have stopped getting ARP tasks now too




And of courser I got some more new work yesterday!!


I did try today but no tasks available, I don’t run ARP. Boincstats not updated either.

Thanks for that. That sounds a bit of a serious error to underestimate the network traffic. There must have been a huge amount of information on the WU’s distributed processed and received on any basis hourly,daily weekly etc.

Thanks for that Mikey. I will not be doing any more until the problem is rectified. Am surprised WCG haven’t sorted it out, it’s been going on for a while.

As a matter of interest is any one getting any work from WCG, every time I try WU’s get stuck on download, log says download temporarily stalled. Been,like this for days.. thought I would ask before giving up on it. Thanks

At the risk of being boring is there any change of Intel GPU's being supported on the options list please. Whilst they are not as fast as the big boys I am sure they could make a useful contribution.
