Just downloaded four new tasks - 2xN144 and 2xN216. All downloads completed successfully.

Good news, I had a completed task upload before the website said the servers were back up and my couple of glances at the tasks running and ready to send were not enough to confirm that new tasks were being downloaded.

I'm back again.

Four more tasks, issued 21 Oct 2021, 4:56:37 UTC to host 1498009, won't be coming home.

Same stuff repeating on my end on a Linux VM (Host 1519938). Tasks are stuck in the "Download: retry in xx:xx" loop. According to the event log some files started to download okay, but got suddenly stuck with the message "Temporarily failed download of …" & "Backing off xx:xx on download of …".

And I am getting,

It seems to be working for me. I got four tasks last evening, one at a time, an hour apart. This is the last of them:

So they must have fixed it between our two observations.

Other way round. Your times are before ours. So they must have broken it between our two observations, or some unconnected external event must have broken it.

Other way round. Your times are before ours.

And still broken as of 50 minutes ago. Backoff will let me check again in 10.

My mental arithmetic is not what it used to be.

Me too. Same issue on two hosts (ID: 1522999; ID: 1523002), although other hosts have received work units after the first one reported problems. Do I need to do anything, or does this get resolved server-side?
Many thanks

Just retried now. Downloads finally work smoothly again at least on my host.

I got project has no tasks available but there are another two batches on the way shortly.

So they do. Forced a work fetch, and got four new tasks - all downloaded properly.

They might have told us.

Strange, before heading to work this morning, I tried again and got the no work available message again but while out another task has downloaded so all seems to be working again.

They may have re-issued the ones that failed downloading.

Looking at the four I got last night, they were all created on 20 October, but my download late on 21 October was the first time they'd been issued. So they probably blithely went on deploying work, unaware that it couldn't be downloaded, Left hand, right hand.

host 1498009

They were emailed about it, but there's been no reply, so no idea what's going on there. :(
