21) Questions and Answers : Windows : Getting Multiple Trickles for WU (Message 3177)
Posted 6 Sep 2004 by Profile old_user544

ZLooking at my statistics and noticed that my last trickle for WU 139346 (for host 19139) shows up 19 times, all identical. Are we having a bad hair day with the system?

&gt; One thing you forgot to mention is that at Seti@Home Classic they are
&gt; recrunching the same WU's over and over again.
...snip...

Dogbytes brought up a good point and the reason I won't run S@H classic. But don't get the idea that I'm bashing the project (or that I'm implying that anyone else is), I crunched their numbers for over 5 years and was in the top 1/2 percent on rankings. But I was a little disenchanted when I found out they just kept recycling WU just to keep people busy.

But then again, I used to work in weather stations (scorch marks from the radar sets to proove it), so the weather thing is a little closer to my heart.

PS: I would have tried to follow the math, but it's Friday and it's been one of those weeks.

Being one of those that signed up for S@H when it was only a couple weeks old, I still won't be interesting in going back until they abandon the classic version. They are trying to run the BOINC side on limited resources while the main equipment still runs the classic. It's resulted in them being swamped and actual production from the masses was greatly impacted (BOINC side, that is).

I'll be happy to keep crunching here rather than go back to S@H until they get it together. Not blaming the S@H people; they just underestimated what they were getting into. But they'll get there.

Holy cow. Makes me feel lonely with there being so much space before another dot appears.

EDIT&gt; After seeing the other comments, maybe I shouldn't assume that dot near Seattle is even me??

Not only is it still being worked, it's trickling twice a day.

Hello,

I have a work unit with the status shown below. Am I wasting my time by processing this unit, or is this just some harmless anomaly? I guess it\'s that exit status that has me concerned.

Server state In Progress
Outcome Unknown
Client state Downloaded
Exit status -185 (0xffffff47)

Also, is there a way to get a WU thrown back into the heap so that it will get worked on? When I first loaded the 4.02 client for CPDN, I forgot to change my startup file and it reloaded the Seti@home gui and deleted my forst WU and I had to download another.
