My PC has been trying to upload a completed WU for the past 5 hours.. but it keeps failing. Is anything wrong?

... and so on

See <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=1208">this thread</a>. <i>[unibe.ch is the Bern server which continues to have problems].</i>

This could be the same problem.

The following log extract (severely edited, honest!) shows a couple of anomalies I've not seen before. One is that upload started with "_0_5.zip". Another is the enormous "AVG=12216.99" following the "zero status" crump/restart after seven TS in the new Model. Some clock kept running from the start of the first attempt....

This IS another "unibe.ch" upload failure. The extended nature of the outage points out a weakness in the upload design, IMO. There should be a means, preferably automated, to change servers after -n- failures to connect. As it is, I expect the U.Bern server to be swamped when/if it comes up. (And what if a mirror site loses funding or the will to continue to support the project? What of the 'hanging' runs then?)

Edit/Correction -- This failure follows 20 straight successful uploads of completed Models in boinc (across four HT P4's). My luck ran out.
