Hello, I upgraded my crunchers to boinc CC version 5.2.1. I noticed that it doesn't do the file transfers for seti@home immediately. This is true both for DL and UL. For example: one of my hosts got assigned 5 WUs by seti@home scheduller. Normally (vith older CC versions at least) it would start to download the associated files immediately, but it doesn't. It's been more than 2 hours and according to CC messages it didn't try to start transfers. If I force DL my hand (retry the transfers) it will DL files just fine. Another example: my crucnher finished a seti@home WU. Normally it would upload the result immediately and postpone the reporting to later stage. Now it doesn't start to upload the result. Is this intended behaviour or is it a bug? I'll just let it be and observe, how and when they will do the transfer. Metod ... |

Check under the commands menu to see if you have a bad setting for networking. Also check the proxy settings in BOINC to make sure they are appropriate. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

Check under the commands menu to see if you have a bad setting for networking. Also check the proxy settings in BOINC to make sure they are appropriate. My settings for the hosts in question are the same as they used to be: connection at any time, no proxy. The problem is that the transfer is not even initiated by CC. See a complete stdout from one of the hosts. The transfer at the end of it was hand-forced and went OK without a hic-cup. As you can see, there's no problem with Einstein: 2005-10-12 11:31 the computation finished and the result was uploaded immediately. With seti: new WU was allocated on 2005-10-11 17:51, but only downloaded after forced transfer on 2005-10-12 13:57. A result computation finished on 2005-10-12 00:32 but did not upload until forced transfer. 2005-10-11 11:09:05 [---] Starting BOINC client version 5.2.1 for windows_intelx86 2005-10-11 11:09:05 [---]

I'm seeing the dealy, wait a bit and it'll report. I'm not complaining about delays before reporting. I'm complaining about delays for uploading and downloading the result files. A short summary of delayed DL: 2005-10-11 17:51:11 [SETI@home] Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi 2005-10-11 17:51:11 [SETI@home] Reason: To fetch work 2005-10-11 17:51:11 [SETI@home] Requesting 30 seconds of new work 2005-10-11 17:51:16 [SETI@home] Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded ... 2005-10-12 13:57:40 [SETI@home] Started download of 20oc03ab.15181.3361.261086.125 2005-10-12 13:57:55 [SETI@home] Finished download of 20oc03ab.15181.3361.261086.125 2005-10-12 13:57:55 [SETI@home] Throughput 26479 bytes/sec And this DL only happened because I forced it. Do you see it now? And here's delayed UL summary: 2005-10-12 00:32:53 [---] request_reschedule_cpus: process exited 2005-10-12 00:32:53 [SETI@home] Computation for result 15mr04aa.4144.31664.534648.30_3 finished ... 2005-10-12 13:57:40 [SETI@home] Started upload of 15mr04aa.4144.31664.534648.30_3_0 2005-10-12 13:57:47 [SETI@home] Finished upload of 15mr04aa.4144.31664.534648.30_3_0 2005-10-12 13:57:47 [SETI@home] Throughput 13113 bytes/sec Again, this UL only happened because I forced it. At this stage, uploaded WU was in state 'ready to report' and those will (even with CC 5.2.1) get reported when scheduller gets contacted next time. And, again, I don't see this (erroneous IMHO) behaviour with Einstein@home and I didn't see it with earlier versions of CC (tested: 5.1.8, 5.1.6, 4.72, 4.71, 4.45, etc). Metod ... |

I'm seeing the dealy, wait a bit and it'll report. Another thought occured to me this morning (European time): I had all the hosts connection settings to based on preferences. I changed them to allways and after a couple of hours it seems that the problem dissapeared. If this is it, then there might be some bug interpreting the settings. From far it seems to be something similar to the bug in 4.7x, where CC would try to contact climate@home scheduller for trickle uploads regardless of network connectivity settings (even if it was set to off explicitly). I'll let it be like this and will report in another couple of hours. Metod ... |

After another half a dozen hours I'm further convinced, that my theory above is true. I didn't notice any delayed uploads and/or downloads since change of network connectivity to allways. I could only see normal delayed reporting of already uploaded results. Metod ... |

My 5.2.1 is always on always (forgive the pun ;)), yet I had upload problems with Primegrid. I still have them on another computer, although we're testing if it's to do with the standard time-out period of PG. |
