Dang, halted with just 457 bytes left to get another WU started. Maybe I can just type them in?

To automate retries I use Adri's wcgresults from
----------------------------------------https://sourceforge.net/projects/wcgtools/files/ On Linux use command crontab -e to create a timer to run every 15 minutes with option -x. Paul.

Added a new client yesterday and it even fails to download the task unrelated admin data for over day now.

Ive been a member doing compute work on my various computers for almost 23 years continuously... I have reached the point of dispair of ever contributing further to medical research since the switchover to Krembil Research Institute...
I still continually get no work units, or get partial downloads and the system hangs or constant project backoffs to download work units. Its been a ver poor switchover experience and one with which I am finally abandoning... Any team that wishes to take on my (solo) generated points is welcome to reach out in the next few days and I'll happily join you and youre welcome to the work units done so far (35,834,116 points earned, 54,734 results returned, time: 22yrs:353days:18:12:43) |

@local-lad: You got points? Lucky you.
I got some units crunched over the last weeks when it would finally download something _at all_ but now my box is mostly idle and I got no points earned for anything over the last weeks and the downloads stall again. The points/activity/runtime charts on my WCG profile show _empty_. "User Total" from my manager claims otherwise:  Not that I really care about virtual rubber points but this sure is all in all very disappointing. I'm assuming that my results have all been discarded for unknown reasons or are not synced to the website database. |

I'm pretty sure that's a known issue. I've had a couple of computers running tasks 24/7 for the last week and my stats have not been updated since February

For now, if you want stats, you need to go to outside stats sites like Free-DC or BOINCstats. Even then, they can sometimes lag a day or two, it seems, but they are getting counted.
I'm working on an automated babysitter for my crunchers, since this looks like it's going to be a long-term problem. So far, it looks promising. |

For now, if you want stats, you need to go to outside stats sites like Free-DC or BOINCstats. Even then, they can sometimes lag a day or two, it seems, but they are getting counted. As mentioned endless times before, this is only a total for the whole of WCG, you don't get any stats broken down by project as you (should) get on the WCG overview web page.I'm working on an automated babysitter for my crunchers, since this looks like it's going to be a long-term problem. So far, it looks promising. It certainly should not be. At least as far as the download issues are concerned, it seemed they had this fixed for a few days, until it broke again on Monday (or late Sunday), when they started to send out buckets of OPNG WUs. At least they should now have a better idea of what is the source of the problem and be able to fix this for good. Unfortunately, it takes them eons to do so.And that in turn seems to delay fixing any other issues like the internal stats and a couple of other issues with validation and resends/credits that have been creeping up as well...

One thing I did notice though, was I added another pc to my farm, and the Boinc agent quickly recognize the new pc name, But no crunching stats

I'm not bailing on WCG. Whenever Krembil can (or perhaps if) can get everything back in terms of networking and all the other issues worked out then I'll be back to devoting some or all of my available CPU cycles for crunching to you/them. Until then, I just can't justify seeing loads of wu's hang for an indefinite periods of time. I hate to say it but since the move from IBM to Krembil it's felt like they've bailed on WCG and the volunteers. I *get* and understand there's been loads of issues and problems, but having spent 29 years in the financial data processing field who I worked for would have been out of business by now had this happened in plenty of our moves that I was involved in during those years. I'm right there with you. I'm not confident that WCG will return to it's pre-transition state at this point. Organizations like Krembil have priorities, and I'm getting the idea that WCG has become a low-priority project. Therefore, I will continue to crunch for WCG, but I am also joining plenty of other BOINC projects as well. It's time to diversify my BOINC portfolio.  |
