Posted 6 Apr 2015 by Daz Post: Looks like new work units are now downloading again. Still a few failures. We will see how long it lasts. |

Posted 3 Mar 2015 by Daz Post: Personally I think it common courtesy to keep contributors to his project up dated, rather than just completely ignoring them and allowing workstations to grind to a halt when they could be used for other projects. All of these people who contribute their hardware to these projects deserve no less. Or maybe distributed computing does not need volunteers and their hardware, maybe we are all just of no consequence! Maybe he needs a lesson in PR, but not an issue, I am dedicating my processors to other projects now. It horrifies me to see wasted processing power because the contributor is not updated and ignored. |

Posted 2 Mar 2015 by Daz Post: No news at all from the project itself, lots of conjecture from other users, but no real news or updates on the task situation. This project is obviously dying, it has been neglected for weeks now with continuous download failures, now no tasks at all. If the people running the project cannot support the project I don't think I can either any more. Time to move to another project. |

Posted 20 Feb 2015 by Daz Post: Ive got nearly as meany errors (due to download failures) as I have valid tasks. Some of my workstations are dormant for hours at a time as a a workunit is getting stuck downloading and preventing other units from downloading. Or I get download failed for many units in a row until it finally downloads a good one. This project must have been running at about 50% capacity for nearly a week now. In progress (45) · Validation pending (46) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (1010) · Invalid (2) · Error (886) |

Posted 16 Feb 2015 by Daz Post: You are right, they are all worthy causes. I have plenty of bandwidth (150 Mbps). The download errors end up putting my pc's out of action for hours or days. Users like me cannot contribute any specialist knowledge or money to science as I simply do not have any. All I can contribute is processor time. It appears a huge waste when processors are left unused for hours and hours. |

Posted 15 Feb 2015 by Daz Post: I cannot find this config file on the version of boinc I am running. I have 10's and 10's of download failures. Lots of wasted processor time over the last few days, I am surprised this has not yet been addressed, across all users this project will have lost loads of work. This is the 3rd project I have dedicated my computer time to. It always surprises me that these issues are allowed to carry on so long on these projects. |
