Attaching problem issues solved.

Not solved! Even now my phone can't even get tasks. Somehow it is worse.
I'll stick around for a few weeks more while you work it out, but there are lots of other jobs to be done that I want to crunch for!

So I guess the easy answer is when you start your own Boinc project you can decide what is best and what isn't.

There are more than enough entries on this topic already - why not read them instead of adding to the clutter.

I strongly disagree. No specific task for this renewed problem has yet been established. All we do is to put it under the "News" thread.

But I do agree that this was a bit rude.

The problem is LIFE keeps getting in the way of the Admin figuring it out, every time he sits down to do something about the problem something else comes up. First it was that he switched jobs so he had to move his pc's to his new apartment, then he had to move them someplace else, then someone very close to him passed away, then the people he had asked to help him had no clue how to do it. He has said repeatedly the end is in site, hopefully, and as soon as he gets there he will put in the time to get the problems fixed.

What we have is a struggling project that feels it's better to live with some problems then to be shut down and potentially lose everyone. Some people are reporting a 90% error rate on downloads, that still means 10% of the work is getting done. IMHO 10% is better than none at all!

What is this nonsense. 10 task daily limit on a 2600k? This computer doesn't have an Nvidia GPU.

Sounds like too many errors were reported so your work fetch has been throttled, this is standard at alot of projects, but since you have your pc's hidden I am only guessing. As you return valid units your daily quota will climb rapidly, if I am remembering right it's almost doubled every day as long as no more errors creep in again.

Same here, pretty much 100% failure across all my systems.

Hi Guys
I tried to fetch some files and this is what i have

all 17 tasks Download failed :(

Question: Has anyone taken notice of the fact that the issue of the Download Failed issue seems to have returned? After a day of relatively clean downloads, we're back to seeing about 60% - 80% of them fail again. I've had about 1,000 downloads fail in the last day or so.

I don't expect this happens often but I've also had Work Units declared invalid because I processed it but there were 16 or 18 "Error while Downloading" so the WU was dropped due to 20 failures. Examples:
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/workunit.php?wuid=4842346
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/workunit.php?wuid=4842338

Just a thought, but it might be an idea to clear the database of all those download failures.
