F@H Problem! (I think)

[Jonesy_2010]

So I checked the 24-Hour Stats for 2/4/10 and noticed that I didn't get credit for all the crunching I did during that time. I checked my log files (running 2 instances simultaneously) and got these messages in both of them:

[22:07:18] + Attempting to send results [February 5 22:07:18 UTC]
[22:09:15] - Server does not have record of this unit. Will try again later.
[22:09:15] Could not transmit unit 02 to Collection server; keeping in queue.

After this it seemed to go right ahead and start crunching the next job, in fact this message appeared a few more times while the new job was being worked on. I admit I am confused, and wondering if there is something up with their servers, or if my internet connection is the culprit.

Suggestions?

update:
So, here in the DC metro area we are currently experiencing SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010, and a brownout caused my HTPC to reboot itself. I checked the log files again, and now it looks like one of the results was sent successfully:

Perhaps this will straighten itself out after all?

That message means it was trying to upload to the backup collection server which did not know about that WU. As long as you don't pass the deadline, it should upload fine.

Jonesy 2010, whatever you do, don't go driving in the snowstorm.

I live in Washington state now, but I spent many years in Raleigh, NC. I observed that, because we southeners don't see much snow, many of us don't know how to drive in it. The inexperienced drivers are more of a hazard than the snow!

😵

Thanks for the help guys.

rabrittain- It's true going out driving in the snow is very risky at best. The last snow storm we had down here I went out and drove over to my buddy's house for some snow football. I was having a great time in my Subie Impreza Outback (I also have a little experience with snow driving, grew up in New England, went to school in Boston and Michigan) but it was still really hairy. People were going nuts! Spinning out, crashing and getting stuck all over the place. Not worth the risk of a crash and humiliation of getting stuck, at least until they clear the roads somewhat and I can go do donuts in empty parking lots :twisted:
Lol!
