1) Message boards : Number crunching : No Credit - Why? (Message 22650) Posted 6 May 2006 by old_user83292 Post: there\'s a hacker sending like a million trickles a day I hope I have not been contributing to this overload! I noticed my machine has been trying to send up a trickle every hour or so. If 50 thousand other machines are doing the same thing, could this effect be causing the apparent DOS attack? However, I turned off overnight and on switch-on this morning was able to upload the pending three or four trickles with no bother - looks like the problem (thanks to all involved) is finally going away.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Failed upload: http error (Message 22379) Posted 25 Apr 2006 by old_user83292 Post: Upload file server at Oxford is down. Select Network activity suspended in BOINC to prevent the build up of error messages until server is fixed. I prefer not to do that as I have six other projects to keep happy! Do you have any feeling for when the problem will be sorted? And, since this is a fault which affects everyone, would it not be reasonable to put an obvious notice on your home page to reassure contributors that they don\'t have a problem at their end?
