The number of tasks ready to send on the server is now below 20K. Not so long ago it was around 2M. According to my estimations we're going to run out of tasks to process in less than one day. Just thought to let you know in case it wasn't known.

As of right now:
Tasks ready to send 14,200
Tasks in progress 143,030

I too hope they don't run out, I just brought my cpu's here and it would be a pain to now move them elsewhere. Hopefully they have the ability to make enough to keep up.

14.200 tasks are sure to be chewed up in max 12 hours with the current processing rate of about 130K GFlops. So there's about half a day left to react :)

It would be a pity to see such an interruption. When people want to crunch and they can't, they get disappointed and leave, some of them never to return :(

I modified my BOINC processing settings to make sure I download tasks for at least the next 4 days. That way I won't feel the gap if it's not too long ;)

I am leaving my 3/4 day settings alone, I will just add in a 2nd project if I need to.

I too use 4/3 day settings from today (was 0.25/0.5 before) and my tough PC has downloaded 140 tasks, so I'm OK for a while.

And we're down to 3300 tasks ready to send. The "end" is near :)

New workunits are being added.

WOO HOO!!! THANK YOU!!!

Oh, yeah! :)

Have the admins noticed that for about a day the feeder is down and we can't get new tasks?

Thank you!

Hi, I still have no tasks! Can you please check and advise? Thanks, Gary

I just refilled my cache so it is working now.

For the past week I've been getting intermittent connections with this project. Sometimes tasks will not upload/download/report, other times the entire project and website won't load. Is the server just overloading?

Unfortunately, my situation is unchanged:

Completed tasks aren't uploaded. I can't get new tasks.

When I click "Update", I get a message that Communication is deferred for X hours, Y minutes. On all my computers I have this non-functional state.

Additional info indicating Server Problem: Credit stats are wrong: unchanged for 2 days. However, BOINC-STATS has the correct Credit, so it was updated there.

My local logs show Scheduler Request Failed: HTTP Internal Server error.

I'm still dead in the water with Asteroids. Currently running other projects

...
Completed tasks aren't uploaded.

This is not correct, uploading and reporting does work. Just after reporting, the tasks stay in the lists of your BOINC clients so it looks as if they had not been reported.

If your host pages here on the project site do not show any tasks in the state "in progress" anymore, you could reset this project on your computers, so they will not try to report already reported tasks anymore.

I can't get new tasks. ...

Currently a lot of people seem to have this problem, so it is not on your side. The two problems (not removing reported tasks and not getting work) are caused by the same issue.

Have a look here, it seems to be related to the BOINC server side update.

Tried again to get new tasks. I get:

7/21/2014 10:39:42 PM | Asteroids@home | work fetch resumed by user
7/21/2014 10:39:44 PM | Asteroids@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
7/21/2014 10:39:44 PM | Asteroids@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
7/21/2014 10:39:47 PM | Asteroids@home | Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error

In my Project List display I have "Communication Deferred" status for Asteroids

And I have 22 "Ready to Report" tasks for 2 days now.

Are others seeing these problems still ??

Problem fixed.

Problem fixed.

Indeed it works now! Thank you!

Yes, it was a Server side problem that is now fixed and units are flowing just fine again.
