Asteroids@Home down again! :(

[networkman]

*UPDATE 3* Project is down again! And I'm pretty much giving up on reporting for this one anymore.

*UPDATE 2 * The project is back up again!

*UPDATE* The project is deferring again. I've started a thread on the project's message boards.

Just going thru the morning routine.. shower, brush teeth, clothes, grab coffee, check DC projects status.. STOP!!

Not again..

Possibly ... but I am having problems to upload WUs: " ... feeder not running ...", which is confirmed by the server status page.

Nothing on the front page about this hiccup, I guess they didn't bother as it was over so quick .

 

[networkman]

But it's apparently back to deferring again.

From their front page:-

Asteroids@home
Database Error

Not good!

1 possible silver lining, maybe it'll give longer deadlines for the 34 WUs I un-intentionally d/l? I am probably going to let them expire otherwise (want to do LHC until their WUs dry up).

Project is back up again!

 

[Assimilator1]

Yep , in the end I finished 4 WUs that were in progress & crunched another 4, I left 26 to expire :$

Project is back up again!

The WUs are different again.

Before this last down time the WUs were taking from 8,000 to 12,000 seconds.
Now they are taking only 1,200 seconds!

The 1/2 dozen or so I last did had times all over the place, a right mixture .

 

[networkman]

I tell ya what though, one more outage like this with no communications and I'm done with A@H and will move to another project :/

 

[GLeeM]

Get as many of these WUs as you can before they change back!

You will get 1M points per day instead of 1M points per week.

As I posted on their forums, I keep 3 days cache of WU for any project, and 2 additional days specifically for A@H because of my experience with the project's up time.
