Full stop for transfer...

I need to upload 339 processed and aborted WUs. I had planned to migrate another one of my PCs to Linux, but that didn't happen today, because I dinnae want, to leave a lot of work as wasted CPU-time.

Most of Asteroid's servers are in code red. Let's hope we'll be back to normal soon.

If you guys would just look at the project page https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/server_status.php you would see why the system is down.
Its not that hard to find this page.

Their system is 95% offline for some reason. There is 3000+ tasks waiting, but with machines down, they can't go out and cant upload either.

There's work available, and I'm receiving new tasks. What does the BOINC log say? Maybe wait a bit longer?

I see this even with running an update script every 2 minutes. I suspect the RTS buffer size is very small on the server and easily gets emptied with just one scheduler connection from a hungry host. And it then takes some time to refill it for the next host requesting work.

So you just have to be patient and keeping asking for work. It will come down eventually.

Most of my work request gets Project has no work available, isn't that just a waste of work for the server?
