Hey Kyong
Becaurse of all the issues whith downloading, why not close down and solve
the problems,so we can work again.
Im looking foreward to that.

Best regards Jakob

Same problem, tens of downloads failing.

---

I got about 9 WU each on two machines but it still took about 400 or 500 attempts till I got a message that no work is d/led because my machine has gotten it's allotted 1 WU for the day...

So much for being stubborn. It backfired.

Seems like we all wish we could do more to help fix the problem. Here's hoping you can resolve it with minimal further effort.

58 Files Just Download.

All as "Download Failed"

Deadline for each one is 04/04/2015

Because of Failed Download, I have Aborted each Failed Download.

Meanwhile have some work, up to last Deadline of 3/04/2015.

Cheers

Further,

Just now Downloaded 77 files.

All Download Failed

All have the Deadline of 4/04/2015.

Once again, I have Aborted them.

And am continuing processing.

Ditto here, my "failing download" WUs are just due on 3/4/15. I guess all the users have to purge the older WUs this way? So far only one WU on each machine here haa been valid over past weekend. They seem to purge themselves well, unless you are impatient and do a manual update, then of course you get more fails..

All have the Deadline of 4/04/2015

Deadline doesn't matter. Deadline is not fixed to the WU. Deadline do not identify the WU.

Deadline for your task (task = one copy of the WU) is calculated at the moment you ask for work.
Your task (but not others from the same WU) will always have Deadline 10.5 days (at this project) after the current time.

- ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

All my work units are now being marked "Download Failed". But my other BOINC projects are fine.

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

The admin knows about the problems and is working to correct them.

You can successfully get a few WU if you set all other projects to 'No New Tasks"
then go into Tools->Computing Preferences->network usage tab->Max additional work buffer = 10 days.
Then go to the project link and click Update for Asteroids@Home and the project should send 15 to 70 WU's.
Wait a minute until all the downloads are completed as failed or successful (none, or maybe 1).
You can update several times until the project backs you off with the message 'no tasks sent you have received the allotted 1 WU for the day' in the Event Log.

Remember to reset your buffer to it's original setting (usually 1 day) and then put all your Projects back to accepting new tasks.

You should end up with 3 to 10 Asteroids@Home WU's to process.

You don't need to abort them.

Failed downloads count as a failed WU and on the next update BOINC reports the failure and deletes them.

I tried that, it has now stopped sending me "failed downloads" and it has stopped sending me WU's. Even when I reverted everything back the way it was.
I think I broke the Internet again? :)

You didn't break the Internet, your Computer arrived at http://hmpg.net/ and is now Downloading.

Now get out and buy more Hard Drives, so you can fill them.

Really?? My downloads are still ending in error. . .

I said the project would back you off, eventually, for the day. Try again tomorrow.

You should have gotten a couple of good WU out of several hundred attempts. It's about the same odds as getting a winning $5 lottery scratcher.

Admin Kyong said "New batch of workunits will have different naming scheme so it should finally work without any download errors." but he didn't say when the new WU will be showing up. I think the pattern is Thursday WU's are added so hopefully Thursday things will get better.

Just downloaded 19 workunits. 100% success rate!

Got 27 of 28 (1 failed d/l) and 63/63 (forgot and left it at 10 day buffer, oops) on the other machine.

Thanks Kyong

Yes! Thank you, Kyong. Everything is downloading great! So all machines are running exclusive Asteroids again. :)

Thank you.
It's nice to know I'm not so clumsy as I think I am. :)
And I have just added more drives!


And a really big Thank you to everyone for all your hard work especially the overworked Mr. Vanco.
I'm getting WUs, now. And they look good.
My little machine can play with its asteroids again.

Downloads are working now, but validation seems stuck ...
