1) Message boards : Web site : WEB-site timeouts --- extremly slow responses (Message 6808) Posted 2 Jul 2020 by spacres Post: these seem like related issues, the website messes up at the same time task uploading has issues. I had same problem for the last couple days now. asteroids@home should have more staffing/help to try to deal with this. or at least post updates on whats going on. not that it would happen anytime soon, but just an opinion.
2) Message boards : Problems and bug reports : And Yet Again Server Out of Space (Message 6807) Posted 2 Jul 2020 by spacres Post: I'm seeing the same problem with uploading completed tasks. Ive been trying to get tasks uploaded for a couple days now. it seems to happen a lot here with asteroids@home for some reason.
3) Message boards : Problems and bug reports : wu stuck on uploading (Message 6779) Posted 15 Jun 2020 by spacres Post: I've been getting maintenance mode for 2 days, again. i spent 15 hrs doing a task, now its reaching the project deadline soon. again, I can see why people would say its frustrating. and i agree 100% . they definitely need to do something about it. they wont get to many people to stay interested in it if this keeps up. just my opinion.
4) Message boards : Problems and bug reports : wu stuck on uploading (Message 6770) Posted 13 Jun 2020 by spacres Post: this is a first time that i experienced this kind of problem. i never experienced it when i was doing seti@home tasks. i just assumed asteroids@home was having server issues earlier. I was going to post about it earlier, but the website was unavailable. should i wait and just sit on the task and see if it completes ?? thoughts please. * edited * please disregard i got the wu to re-upload and report.
5) Message boards : Wish list : better reporting system (Message 6729) Posted 21 May 2020 by spacres Post: ive seem a few people mention issues either uploading finished wu's, or getting more wu's to download. asteroids@home needs to focus on that i believe. especially with the increased users/machines from seti@home coming here. sounds like a reasonable wish =)
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Out of Disk Space Again (Message 6728) Posted 21 May 2020 by spacres Post: ive been seeing the same message since yesterday. i have a few waiting to upload that deadline tomorrow.
7) Message boards : Windows : new user from seti@home (Message 6692) Posted 19 May 2020 by spacres Post: Welcome! Boinc does at times a lousy job when it estimates the needed time for a new user and a new project. It will need a few weeks to sort it out. You don't need to fix anything or feel guilty. Let the excessive work units simply expire or abort them pre-emptively. No problem with that, they will be given to someone else instead and you download fresh work units when you need again more work. I added recently two new GPUs. Boinc does fine with the CPUs, but it still downloads too many work units for the GPUs. It's not perfect, but it's not a problem. Thanks Robert, My pc has only been able to do cpu units, I think thats all my intel will do, it was the same when i was with seti@home with the cpu wu's. but after a week or so the wu's got more accurate. Here as mentioned, i recently ended up with 19 wu's that all say 5:51 min. and so far they've all taken over 12 hours to do, each. they expire between may 22 and may 23 making it impossible to do them all. Hope a day will come when asteroids@home gets things sorted out. or we get something like lunatics to help with that. =] .
8) Message boards : Windows : new user from seti@home (Message 6677) Posted 17 May 2020 by spacres Post: Hi i just moved here since seti@home is no more, My setup is: windows 7 starter boinc version: 7.14.2.0 eFMer boinctasks: 1.7.8.0 Lunatics_Win32_v0.44 everything is still set for when i used seti@home, i just added the asteroids@home to the boinc projects. i completed a couple tasks already, but they were slow to finish. i downloaded a bunch of tasks to do (19 of them), they each say time left: 05:51 min at first before i start them. i just completed 2 that took almost 13 hours to complete, but at first they said the same 05:51 min My current settings (i had set for seti@home) do not seem to work here. i downloaded more tasks then im able to complete. or rather My current settings downloaded more, the deadline will come before i finish them all. and i will have to abort about half of them. i have not changed any aspects of my settings since seti@home. but should i change something ???? (i dont know, i am not familiar with boinc and all that) please help if you can.
