It would be most helpful if we could identify which anti-virus products are reporting a detection.

That won't ever be identifiable in your server logs: we would probably have to crowd-source it by an appeal here. So: if anyone here has noticed an AV alert relatable to CPDN since the new tasks were released, please post details here.

I don't have any recent experience of a central, industry-wide, reporting point, although I have written and released software installation packages in the past which have triggered similar problems.

Unfortunately the BOINC message board most likely to have searchable records of such events (SETI@home) has been offline all day, although it's back now. I'll put my thinking cap on in the morning.

I see the faster machines have started to return results. Still over 2 days till the first of mine finish but it does mean the number of tasks waiting to be sent from these batches is going down a little faster now.

Two more days for the first tasks to complete here. They survived Storm Isha brown-outs yesterday evening. We have planned power outages tomorrow, for connecting the solar panels, battery and a new charger. So fingers crossed that the WAH models behave after 'hibernate'.

Most of the solar work is complete. Unfortunately, waking after 'hibernate' lost three of the five running tasks. The other two tasks should complete before the commissioning.

... I can't leave it on and working 24/7.

Hi all. Trying to upload one stubborn zip file, but no success. Is their server down or just overloaded?

As for Windows automatic updates - they are an absolute pain, and should be blocked - others have suggested ways of doing this.

Is there a setting I need to check or something to keep this from happening?

This is an interesting article I saw today.

The Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling, Prompting New Climate Concerns

A new study reaffirming that global climate change is human-made also found the upper atmosphere is cooling dramatically because of rising CO2 levels. Scientists are worried about the effect this cooling could have on orbiting satellites, the ozone layer, and Earth’s weather.

Unless there is a setting I haven't found, the Dreamlabs app only runs when the phone is charging. It can't be using a lot of power as phone doesn't warm up at all unlike if running BOINC with just two cores crunching. (when I run BOINC I stick to just one core because of that. Be interesting to see what speed the dreamlabs app runs on my Linux box though. (Currently downloading ISO.

If anyone's interested, this is another task fail which is different to the turbulence failure mentioned earlier:

So this storm got pretty powerful!

Problems with files not downloading from download.cpdn.org have now been fixed so I'm told.

I'll mention it and see what response I get, credit is actually quite a pain for a project to have to manage from what I've learnt.

Update:
Data backup has been reduced sufficiently that the batch & upload servers will be restarted today, if not tomorrow (depending on some last checks).
