Kyong,

The download errors have come back. I think you might need to check your work creation again.

Confirmed. 20 download errors so far.

Was able to download one work unit out of ~ 20

The same here.About 90% do have a permanent HTTP error.

Over 60 download errors now,as reported above permanent HTTP errors reported in log.

Tom.

Yep, you can add me to the list as well. Over 60 failed downloads now and climbing. Only have about 20 work units left to run and not getting replacements.

I think it's something wrong with adding new wu's, but we have to wait for Kyong.

A few WU come without mistake. How long still?

There was a collision with older input files due to duplicity of sources. I had to cancel all current workunits and there are currently new workunits adding.

That explains where all my work units went, LOL,

Tom.

No download errors anymore. No tasks ready to send!

The WUs are now being added. There are just many clients which require new work so it is not so fast to send everything to anyone. It is also no fast adding so many results.

Wow, you killed WUs that had been running for hours. Thanks for that, I like wasting electricity :(

Cheers,

Al.

Unfortunately, if this kind of problem appears then I can't determine what WUs are without physical input. So there are only two choices - to cancel all or to keep them all so I decided that it is better to cancel that otherwise the problem would keep long time with so many workunits.

Everything is running fine now on my computer,thanks a lot !

No more bad WU´s.

Hello --

Does server message "Result xxxx is no longer usable" have something to do with the above-mentioned "cancelling of duplicate sources"?

The work was apprently cancelled as it vanished; it was about 57 % done.
My timezone is UTC+0200.

Yes, it has. BOINC client contacted server at that time and was innformed about canceling these workunits.

There is an option in _ops where you can cancel all WUs which they are not in progress.
