I have more trickles of the same series also stuck on another computer.
I hope they can fix the servers soon, I am running out of space to store unsent trickles.
Kind regards Vicki.

Dear fellow readers
Yip me to as far as the server is out of upload space error is concerned & I have gotten that over the last few days as the backlogged of zips to send back mounts up. most of my stuck trickles are 50ish meg per file and are global series 769 & 770 series and still have a long way until completion of calculations for said work unis. one wonders how large the receiving servers capacity is & how much space is still not enough for the amount of work units being sent out to be crunched. time to invent the 200 teragig sd card & use that for incoming trickles!
Aside from all that, Happy New Year & may it bring what you want as well as what you need. For me that means continuing to learn the skills no one has taught me yet, including hair plating, which is becoming a priority as my hair approaches 4.5 years long & with summer temperatures, hair in a bun is cooler than down, but still the yearn to see it plated before acquiring the skill reminds me that changing gender marker doesn't mean learning stops there. you can read the ups & downs of my 13th year of living female here. Copy & paste this link into your browser to read it. be warned that some might call it blunt, I call it speaking my mind. https://vickiraewest.atavist.com/the-13th-year-of-living-female-my-path

I too am stuck with downloads from the PNW series. hAVING REBUILT MY DESKTOP after something scrammed the partition table, I am playing hurry up & wait. Oddly I had little trouble getting some seti tasks, so at least it is crunching something in the meantime.

Hi Dave.
I have got connected to the project. For anyone else wanting the url it is
www.climateathome.info/climateathome

In the interim, star gazing it is, still the check for work units is functioning, even with the feeder offline.
Thanks Vicki.

Hi Les
Way back when I was at polytech, we had a unix based pdp network that frequently went offline & crashed rather badly. that was 1988 -1990. Fortunately I was using msdos 3.3 / windows Version 1 in the subjects I was taking part in. Still the idea of a system image of all servers related to each project before a big upgrade (or should that be downgrade considering the results) makes a lot of sense.

transmission gap Blue Gap then gap purple gap red

clear transmission resumes
some things seam timeless. Interesting to learn more about Oxford Uni.
Over, Loud, Proud and Out!

HI Dave.
Climate@home isn't on the add project list. How do I get around that? Bonic 7.8.3 and virtual box version: 5.1.26 are installed already.

I now have 6 completed tasks waiting to report. The last 2 active tasks I have will complete within the next 3 weeks, after which, I will be out of work units for this project until things return to relative "normal". On the plus side of this waiting time is the deadlines are dated 2019. Still I hope for all connected to this project that it is all back up and running before then. Climate predictions loss of our collective cpu power will at least in the short term may well be other projects gains. Is there a similar Bonic project that is climate related, or should I keep looking to the stars with Eisenstein and Seti in the meantime? Climate research is a global issue, especially with so many countries trying to get Carbon neutral sooner rather than later.
Without knowing the mixture of operating system and software environment this project runs on, I find myself wondering why the project doesn't do some sort of offline Backup system using something like windows system image. that would make restoring from a system failure easier and quicker to recover from. Seti for instance, goes offline weekly for 4ish hours for just such a purpose. Hindsight of course has better vision than waiting until disaster strikes.
I of course wish those working to solve the issues every success in getting things back online as soon as they can and learning from this outage, rather than seeing it as a set back to repair.

The last stuck file just sprinted to its finish line; the fastest download speed I have seen on that desktop in ages, esp from cpdn. 3+ days to download. I will stick to my plan of catch up football on other projects, which will give them more time to fix up the server properly. My lappy has about a weeks worth of Einstein to crunch on in the meantime & the desktop crunching on mixture of Seti & Einstein. The last month I have finally crossed over the 800k mark in total Seti credit, long overdue given that it was the first project I joined, way back before Bonic changed into its current form.

traffic jam in both directions here & I am looking for my any key, or at the least suspending the project once the current traffic jam has cleared until a few more of the bumps & potholes of the servers recovery road are ironed out. 13+ hours trying to download 4 tasks is making dial up look fast. till semi working including having the forums back here is better than alone in the wilderness of waiting.

general sources of running slow:
too many programs / apps loading at boot time
lack of ram / Virtual memory setting too low. an sd card or usb stick can be used to increase this or increase size of actual installed ram to spec maximum.
conflicting programs, such as multiple firewalls / anti virus programs
drive is not defragmented often enough
drive is showing first signs of mechanical failure
system drive is too full, this affects the automatic virtual memory allocation
underpowered cpu for programs most frequently used or operating system
older hardware runs better on win xp, vista or 7 rather than win 10
too many browser add ons or open tabs.
Tracking cookies, virus or trogan at work

Remote desktop is a version of hacking if you are accessing without consent or being remotely accessed without your authorization.

Having just checked Internet usage during the time period the remote connection was active, 1.36 gigs of traffic.

Thanks for your thoughts Dave. as for enabling the ability to be hacked, I am not that stupid! it is bad enough that is already happening without me doing the hacked method to enable such connections. The other odd thing since resetting the affected desktop is that there have been no recorded hacking attempts blocked by the third party firewall program I use, making me wonder if I shouldn't have performed a low level format of the hard drive before reinstalation of windows, Bonic etc. Yuck, what a nightmare, somewhere in the realms of 2 days to get my desktop back to where it should be, if I did a back up followed by low level format, then windows etc. first things first, empty the current task list & minimize connection time in the interim.

that is just one more reason to set windows update to check for updates only, not to auto install, a feature that went with windows 10

only the assistance box was there & it is already turned off. Home edition lacks some switches , or so it would seam.

great, now we are getting somewhere. so where are these off switches in win 7, sp1? Remote assistance has been off since I set up the machine again after it was remotely hacked beyond the capabilities of the windows repair disk. an address like c:\windows\<command name> would be useful.

Hi. I too had noticed the feeder error in the log. Note that my computer is using GMT+12 as its clock.

2/04/2018 7:17:17 a.m. | climateprediction.net | Server error: feeder not running

while my zips continue to upload for me, tasks here can not report completed status, nor can I download new tasks. I still have a few days worth of crunching to do on existing tasks. After that I will transfer resources to another project until this error is sorted.

Vicki.

Hi all, have you ever had a remote desktop entry turn up in your Bonic Log that turns off GPU Tasks? I have remote assistance turned off on my computers, so How did they connect & who?

1/04/2018 11:20:30 a.m. | | Remote desktop in use; disabling GPU tasks
2/04/2018 7:16:13 a.m. | | Remote desktop not in use; enabling GPU tasks

There are the 2 entries, one under the other from my Log. any thoughts or ideas on how to prevent this remote hacking welcome. I use a third party firewall that integrates with the win 7 firewall?

Thanks Vicki

one computers backlog cleared, the other I discovered was being remotely hacked a few minutes ago. still 6 more uploads to upload on that one. more eu trickles, but I think I will leave that one disconnected for a while from the net so the remote hacker doesn't try bouncing its way back into it instantly. what sprung them was the task manager popping up on its own, when I checked to see if its files had also been uploaded.

Hello from another person stuck in this same traffic Jam that seams to have the name Disk Quota Exceeded. any clues as to when to try again, rather than wasting multiples of 64ish megs of data per upload at a time?

Thanks Vicki.
