For several days now there's problems connecting to the project via BOINC and accessing the project website.

Problem usually is a 403- forbidden error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

The issue has existed since the last server update last year, more or less often, but since yesterday, the server has become practically inaccessible. I told Radim about the issue again, hope he can figure something out.

Seems to be working again.
Nice job!!! :-)

Was just coming to report the SAME THING. BOINC upload/download fail and most of the time website also gives the 403/forbidden error message.

Takes multiple retries on BOINC to start or resume a broken upload/download and same with loading website.

Hi,

now machines dry out... no tasks available....

You're more likely to get someone relevant to notice this if you actually post in the problems related categories.

Server status says over 4M tasks available but my multiple machines cannot download tasks.

Why?

Same here no tasks available.

I've received plenty of CPU WUS, but I haven't received any GPU WUS for hours. Its a mess

Sabroe_SMC it's because Blackwell (your GeForce RTX 5080) still requires a custom app

https://github.com/ahorek/PeriodSearch/tree/blackstock/builds

1/ finish your current work
2/ download
Period_search_Windows_10.0_x64_cuda_v12.9_Release.exe
period_search_Windows_10222_x64_universal_Release.exe
3/ copy them to c:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\asteroidsathome.net_boinc and create app_info.xml

<app_info>
<app>
<name>period_search</name>

4/ restart boinc

Then you should receive GPU tasks aswell

Thx a lot.

@ahorek's team
Would you be so kind how to do this on my Cachyos computer? It has an RTX 5070 installed. Here's a link to the computer: https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=833922

just use linux versions
ps_linux_10222_x64_universal_Release
ps_linux_cuda12900_v10222_Release
and replace references in app_info.xml + don't forget to mark them as executable chmod +x

Thank you very much
