The messages are spectacularly vague as usual. I can't cut and paste for some reason, there are four lines...

Failed to upload <filename> transient HTTP error
Backing off on upload <filename>
Project communication failed attempting access to reference site
Internet access OK - project servers may be down

The HTTP error may be interesting but unspecific. Another completed unit updated without issue, and several new ones have arrived since this morning. Other projects are up/down loading without issue.

The filename certainly starts like that, but after the "012216342_0", goes on with "_r1775509966_14.zip". The status on the BOINC Manager display shows the status of "Uploading". I've done several retry actions again now, it starts, get to 100% and stops there, goes no further as if it is waiting for an Ack from the server.

<edit>
I've subscribed to the thread so if any further info is wanted, just post it here, or mail, whatever is best for the circumstances.

One of my tasks finished yesterday. One of the completion files did not upload. I have tried retrying the transfer, both last night and this morning. It /appears/ to transfer 100%, but never seems to get a completion status back from the server. It is roughly 118 Mega Bytes .zip file, so nothing dramatic, but stubbornly refusing to get an ack. New work units are downloading without issue.

>>> What was the one that failed to be added, Intel or AMD?

Sorry, just seen that ^^^, both machines have Intel i7 CPU's.

Upgrade to 7.16.20 fixed the issue I was seeing.

I tried to add CPDN to my two machines here, one added normally, it has not downloaded any work, but I can see it on the projects tab. The other machine Says "Failed to add project". It says that almost immediately, before it asks if I'm new or otherwise for example.

It is screamingly obvious to me, simply from the results I have quoted here, that the way they are running things is not right. I have been with the project for a long time, but sadly, I have crunched my last cpdn work unit here. They are using a resource, but fail to understand its dynamics. Detatching. I hope they learn something from that.

So what you are saying is the effects are to be expected and correct.

The effect I am seeing is the credit granted to work units of the same application at the same project. GPU work is not a factor here either.

What I mean, simply put, is that cpdn used my machine for periods of time and granted credit, apparently, on other criteria. Frankly, it makes no difference to me what the job was doing, what matters is that it was using my systems, thus preventing other BOINC projects from using them, for periods, usually extended periods, of time.

Whilst we are waiting for the credit adjustment of those results, lets have a look at these...

I mentioned in another thread recently a problem with suspending and restarting jobs. I have been waiting for the last of my cpdn work units to finish, which it now has. I looked at my results page to check everything was good with results from the last few days. What I saw distrubed me.

So, jobs that run for days sometimes get thousands of credits, whilst here, the longest running of those gets 779.66. Even the job that crashed when I restarted them got 5,339.28.

I suspend each task, I didn't know you could do the other, useful to know. If you are seeing the problem as well it does tend to infer a weakness somewhere in the app.

I needed to run a job on my machine, and needed to suspend all BOINC jobs. No problem really, easy enough to do. Today, the job was finished so I released all the suspended jobs. Upon doing so, one of the cpdn jobs errored out. I looked here to see what was wrong with it and found that I had a number of earlier wu's also in the error state, some quickly, others after quite a long time. Is there something a bit flaky with the app?

Yes, it certainly does. I spent a while deleting old stuff, application versions etc. which has released some space. Now CAS@Home is also looking like a clean up is needed.

Job is still running but has dropped to 2.50GB now. I'll keep an eye on it. I don't recall having a CPDN wu crash actually.

I am currently crunching wah2_eu25_j6hd_199612_12_010209245_0, I have set it's quota up to try and get it finished quickly, but it's disk usage is huge, over 18GB at the moment, I have less than 5GB left free on the disk, and other projects, (Cosmology and POEM at the moment), are giving messages saying they cannot download work for lack of space. I have, obviously, set no new tasks.
