Can some one please check the upload/download servers to make sure that they are running correctly? I just checked the status page of the AAH servers and the status web page is indicating that everything is running but I've got a bunch of completed work units that are waiting to be sent over to be validated Thanks! |

I have been having the same issue. My working theory is that it has to do with this. https://formula-boinc.org/sprints.py?race=2&division=1&standing=team&sprintid=4 I am not really familiar with Formula Boinc but I gather its some sort of challenge where people try to process as much work in a given time. Is it possible this overwhelmed the server? |

Last modified: 9 Mar 2024, 12:13:03 UTC Hi From what I have found out, the website server has been slow for some time, but the Formula BOINC Sprint Challenge should not have affected the upload/download server functions as FB members have been successfully downloading work units and uploading completed tasks pretty well. But of course, this would mean that there would be an increase in demand for tasks, but the project has handled such Challenges before now without issue, so this Challenge is unlikely to be putting more strain on their servers. And please note that the server had SSL certificate issues just a day or so ago ! However, it would help if more pro-active admins actually looked after the project better than seems to be the case ! |

Hi There is another issue: I am still showing completed and validated tasks that were uploaded and credited in November 2023. So, the database table is probably HUGE right now and this will be slowing down the functionality of the Asteroids "back-office" systems, as it is the admins task (assuming it is not done automatically**) to remove old completed tasks from the database, making it leaner and fitter for what it has to do. ** and clearly, if old tasks are *still* in the database, 5 months later, then the automated scripts are NOT working correctly :-(. |
