Website down, scheduler still OK, no retries on recent downloads. And still down, 6 hours after your post :-( |

Sigh..... 503 Service Unavailable No server is available to handle this request Edit, and shortly thereafter: System error World Community Grid is currently experiencing an unexpected error. Please check Facebook or Twitter for more information. It's no longer an "unexpected error". I suggest they change the message to "World Community Grid is currently experiencing an expected error. Incredible that they can't get it to work longer than max 1-day, and only if they restrict how much work they send out. |

More propaganda from Krembil: WCG’s 18th Anniversary Best part of propaganda [highlighted in bold by me] >> The WCG is now managed by the Jurisica lab at UHN. As an academic group, we face a significant financial challenge in providing the same level of support to the global research community, still free of charge. One year may seem a long time for “WCG system migration”, but our small team had to transition from a research team that ran Mapping Cancer Markers on WCG to learning, building and configuring the WCG system on our servers, with our architecture and performance constraints (s the servers were not optimally configured for the WCG system) |

Web and the BOINC part of WCG, both down this time. So, this time the entire WCG project is DEAD. The web part does not respond at all, and the BOINC part responds with 6372 World Community Grid 2022-12-03 03:27:02 update requested by user 6373 World Community Grid 2022-12-03 03:27:04 Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 6374 World Community Grid 2022-12-03 03:27:04 Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU 6375 World Community Grid 2022-12-03 03:27:27 Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server 6376 2022-12-03 03:27:28 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 6377 2022-12-03 03:27:29 Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. EDIT: Seems as if it's WCG's IT-provider sharcnet.ca that is totally down. "SHARCNET is a consortium of universities in Ontario, Canada, that aggregate funding to purchase supercomputer systems, which are shared among the members to perform research, rather than individually purchasing smaller systems at each university. It was formed to allow members access to larger, faster, and more modern computer resources than they would otherwise be able to afford, and to retain researchers at their organizations. SHARCNET is part of the larger Compute Canada umbrella." |

Geeze, WCG via sharcnet came back for short while, but now the WCG site is gone again with the usual: System error World Community Grid is currently experiencing an unexpected error. Please check Facebook or Twitter for more information. BOINC, and Sharcnet is working though, so this time it seems to be the "normal" WGG problem. |

And ARP tasks just back after an absence. Downloads are so dodgy it makes my bored band upload limit of 100KB/s seem fast! |
Send message Joined: 10 May 07 Posts: 1439 |
My experience is virtually the same today. One ARP data file been in constant backoffs/stuck download for almost 9 hours so far. Don't matter how many times mash the retry, it ends with backoff. |

My experience is virtually the same today.7 running, 7 inqueue and one uploading at the moment. I am trying to manage it so only one task is downloading at a time so that downloads happening from lots of tasks at once don't mean that much longer till all files from the first task finish downloading. Anyway, a few more thousand CPDN tasks coming next week so ARP will go to back burner. |

The sad thing is that I don’t take ARP but my WCG is still screwed because of the download problem - one held file overnight and the whole of WCG stops until the blockage is cleared. |

It's almost 10 months now, since the migration from IBM to Krembil/Jurisica begun, and we're not even close to anything that even resembles how WCG worked before the migration. Nothing has gone according to plans.... WCG Data Transfer Underway, Stress Test of New Infrastructure Scheduled For Feb 28th |
