However the news thread has been rather silent on this issue. I know that is to do with the project people not feeding the information through to the moderators and suspect that if they fed something through every time there is a problem it would slow down the problem being fixed. Also they are not there to put anything onto the news thread over the weekend.

Well, if you think a post there will help, I'll make one.

Yes I am also having problems. I have over 50 files to be uploaded and I am unable to receive any new files... Lets hope the server is sorted today because I have no projects to work on at the moment. They are all finished but the server will not take them...

Cheers :o

P.S. Is it possible to upload a screen shot...?

I think it might reduce the amount of discussion that doesn't really achieve much in the other threads.[/quote]

Servers all appear OK, but I am getting a repetitive upload failure, namely
05/10/2011 10:27:54 | climateprediction.net | Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_6dhw_2001_1_007479505_2_9.zip: connect() failed
Other models on the same PC are so far uploading just fine.
Any clues?

I'm getting exactly the same problem, though when I checked the servers uploader1.atm and cpdnuploader3.oerc were both down. I've currently got 6 tasks waiting to be uploaded. They say they upload 100% then reset to zero on me. The log says "11/06/2012 09:10:05 | climateprediction.net | Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_czzs_2003_1_007966202_1_7.zip: transient upload error". This has been happening for a couple of days now. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? Or when it'll get fixed? Thanks all.

All servers are green but no uploads here either.

The servers are probably being hammered from all people uploading. That's what I'm guessing. We must be patient, they will surely get things on right track again.

I suspect it is not just the servers being hammered as the problem still persists now. Also from here at any rate, the pnw models go through fine but not the eu ones. Cant speak for the others as I have no data.

Yes all my models are hadam3p_eu3...they are all complete and awaiting to be uploaded...progress is 0%...however last night it appears that a single file called hadam3p_eu_d0ef_2002_1_007966729_0_13.zip managed to get uploaded.

Plainly something is not working. I have four files on Retry (project backoff) etc and 55+ files on Upload Pending (project backoff).

I have stopped processing any models and cannot upload anything...

The servers all appear green...any ideas?

Other than patience, no. I have suspended my eu units as I have others that can run for the moment. There is now a post on the news thread [url]http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=5447 which suggests it might just be congestion with so many people trying to upload at the same time and one having gone through suggests that might be correct. That particular server was down for quite a long time. Otherwise, I am sure the project people are on to it even if they don't have a quick fix.http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=5447

What has to be kept in mind is: Horses for courses.
Or, in this case, that ALL zip 13s, (the big restart data files), go to their own server, and zips 1-12 of the PNW models go directly to the researchers for that area, onto a server at Oregon University.

Which leaves the Eu 1-12, the SAF 1-12, and the Coupled Ocean models going to various servers at Oxford. Which are having a hard time of it at the moment.

For what it's worth, I'm also on a long term timeout while they wait their turn.
In fact I've shut down BOINC on both computers to wait it out.

One of my eu zips has just gone through. The other one has gone to back off again though. Might not be completely rigorous but in my mind it proves the congestion theory.

I came to see if there was any info on the problem. When I saw a post mentioning eu vs. pnw models, I went to verify that mine were eu.

6 of 7 have now uploaded!

Thanks to everyone who worked on solving the problem and responding to our questions!

Interesting.

I have one task with uploads of zips 5 through 12 previously pending.
Just a few minutes ago the zip12-file transferred up completely.
So, Zips 5-11 still pending.

Slowly, slowly, we come to terms... :D

My last pending zip now gone :-)

mine too! :D

All gone thru. A+++++

Mine are still struggling. I have had two pairs of EU _4.zip and _5.zips waiting for some days. I have a couple of PNW models reporting fine on a laptop on the same network/router. Meanwhile I've suspended the cpdn EU wus to stop adding to the queue and running some SIMAP resends for June until things clear up. (I'm keeping one of the laptop PNW models going to confirm it still sends it's zips though they'll be infrequent.)

Using Greg's test [msg: June 6th 8:02utc]
http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=7300&nowrap=true#44309

My browser fails the first test and won't connect to the upload server page but passes the second 'tracert' test with no '*'s and only 16 to 18 cmd lines.
Not sure what that all means... ...not quite tecchie enough to understand. :)

/pg

from Greg: "Open another tab in your browser and go to this address: http://cpdn-upload2.oerc.ox.ac.uk.

The response should be a page that says

Climate Prediction.net Upload Server

This server is part of the Climate Prediction.net project. Please visit climateprediction.net to participate.

If you don't get that, there is a connection problem - perhaps a blacklisting. To check, open a command prompt (Win+R cmd.exe) and run

tracert cpdn-upload2.oerc.ox.ac.uk

The trace should complete in less than a minute, listing fewer than 30 numbered lines and with not too many '*'s in the output."

One of the programs failed, but has been restarted.
But now one of the servers has 'fallen over'. Not surprising, with the amount of data trying to get to it.
It may just have filled up, but what ever the problem is, everyone just move back and give it some air. :)
The project people will be back in 10-12 hours.

Hi glaesum,

I'm in NZ, so it often takes me a while to catch up with the day's posts.

How are things now? I gather from other posts that most people's files are getting through now. Certainly mine have been, since about 6 hours ago when I turned networking back on.

The two tests I gave just confirm that there is a path through the internet from your machine to the the cpdnupload2 server. But there are other servers, and maybe the problem is with one of them. If you are still having problems, try re-starting the boinc service - rebooting your machine is the easiest way of doing that. It worked for me, once! :) If that doesn't work, the next step is to set up "http transfer debugging" in cc_config.xml, so we can get more information about what boinc is trying to do, and where it's trying to do it.
