1) Message boards : Number crunching : uploads stall, often with no error message (Message 43762) Posted 7 Feb 2012 by theo Post: is BOINC 6.12.34 supposed to be the stable platform for x86 machines? distributed when? looked for the "handler" variants and the truncated url's last week per moderators' instructions on senior board. no joy. when all else fails,... For both machines I'll abort the wu's, remove the project, purge the directory and registry of CPDN/BOINC links, sulk and pout. thank you for your attentions.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : uploads stall, often with no error message (Message 43758) Posted 6 Feb 2012 by theo Post: between my 2 multicore WinXP machines I run 8 projects under BOINC version 6.12.34. only CPDN has a problem, and it has been chronic for 7 weeks. Files for hadam3p models for _eu and _pnw, all the partials _x.zip and the final _xx.zip remain in cache. Upload attempts manual and auto will begin and show a common initial 2.02 mb of any size file (4 to 34 Mb), then stop increasing, while the elapsed time and the speed continue to increment for another 5 or so minutes. the status text then changes "retry in [2 to 11] hours", rarely adding an error message of "HTTP error" or "servers may be down" in the event log. Inserting tweaks by cc_config.xml for transfer timeout and limiting xfer files per project, per year past forum postings, no help. After 7 years of Taken for Granted, why is this a problem now? Where do I look next?
4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : CPDN doesn\'t find browser (Message 22029) Posted 14 Apr 2006 by theo Post: after running hadsm and sulpher cycles on w2k box, I today resurrected a 1GhzAMD/1.2GbtRAM/19GbtHD box to solely run current BBCclimate via Linspire 5.0. shows the right screens until: attempt UPDATE OR WEB SITE buttons, then see msg that CPDN cannot find a browser I must associate environment variable to a browser then attempt again. This is while I have open LINSPIRE-INTERNET-SUITE (Mozilla based) and sitting on CPDN home page. I\'ve been doing computers and internet since CPM and LYNX but just now too distracted to find the command lines. Where should I look? Regards, TheoCrow
