I cant see any progress or even past results with SETI. connection to 'net not an issue unless I have to "select" a computer on the file tab. No clue what I am doing wrong altho its probably simple mistake.. but getting increasingly frustrated with this. seems to have downloaded but no uploads, no results.. help! lol Paul E.

Please I understand you are all busy but unless you are versed in the WIKI and know where to look, all you do is hit links forever that generally tend to confuse simple minds like myself.. just some straightforward answers please.. is it working -- yes or no. If not, what did I do wrong (if anything) If program or servers are faulty or just not working the way you want, just say so. we all know this is work in progress so just say it.. sending me to the hell of 10000 links where I am inclined to read them all and waste my time and yours isnt helping. 12/12/2005 9:20:48 AM\|\|Starting BOINC client version 5.2.13 for windows_intelx86 12/12/2005 9:20:48

You are on the BOINC boards, and your problem is with the SETI project, not BOINC. Forgive all of us for being "short" with you, but SETI's problems are causing very heavy "what's going on" traffic at EVERY project, and here, and it's all the same questions, with the same answer, which is all over the SETI boards. However, I'll give you the very short version - the SETI project's servers are down. You will not be able to communicate with them. Their home page and tech news and all of their boards go into great detail on the why's, but there is no estimated date for a fix yet. From your logs, everything looks fine, except for the expected SETI issues. If you are attached to another project, I would just "Suspend" SETI and let the other project run until the SETI problems are solved. If you are not attached to another project, this would be a good time to see if there are any you would be interested in. One of the main features of BOINC is the ability to "crunch" for multiple projects, so that when one is down, or has no work to send, your computers stay busy on the others. We really will do anything we can to help - but you have to realize that you'll get better help asking at the right place! ID: 1797 ·

If you look at the seti front page ( http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ) you will see these news items: December 9, 2005 We have turned off work distribution for a bit to allow result uploads to catch up. We will be extending the deadline for returning results so that the troubles with the result upload handler will not result in lost credit. December 8, 2005 We are experiencing heavy traffic on our data server. This is currently preventing some result uploads, but is getting better over time. More in Technical News. We will have to wait until they solved the problems. You can just wait until it gets better, Boinc will upload your work automatically when it is possible. Or attach to another project in the mean time. :-) Edit: hmmm... Bill was first. I have to learn how to type faster. ;-) ;-) ID: 1798 ·

Enhanced, new color scheme, all mod cons. So you can continue to talk about SETI, but it is best to look at the SETI site for SETI news, and here at the BOINC site for news on the BOINC part.

Wouldn't it be smart if when the SETI servers are down, client requests are re-routed to a BOINC server that replies "The SETI servers are down, please don't panic" instead of "failed with a return value of -106" ? This is called basic user-friendliness. I first joined BOINC on 19/11/2003 but had to give it away because I was getting sick and tired of people asking the boards is the servers were up all the time. Nothing much seems to have changed. How can this be so hard ? ID: 1808 ·

How can this be so hard ? Yes, but, this means that the server request has to complete so that the servers can tell the clients that they are down. The later builds of the BOINC Client software do have more friendly messages, but the response error can be any one of several. So, it is not practical to just show one message. ID: 1811 ·
