PrimeGrid Dog Days of Summer challenge August 26-28

[Rudy Toody]

Crud, 1hr 54 minutes communication deferred >.< So much for a good start

Sometimes I can get that to work by setting No New Tasks and wait a few beats and set it to allow new tasks.

 

[jalaram]

All my tasks are showing as uploading. CPU is totally idle.

[edit] Just looked at transfers tab:

All are "Upload pending (project backoff: 00...)

I don't see what the rest of the line says.

 

[petrusbroder]

Here is Peter: I have no WUs!

 

[ZipSpeed]

I also have a ton of WUs on upload but no new units. Seems like the servers are getting hammered.

 

[GLeeM]

We're crunching!

I've had to massage the uploads by clicking "Retry Now" occasionally.

 

[Ken g6]

Working fine for me.

Edit: Well, some machines are, some aren't.

Although that might have something to do with routing everything through a Polipo proxy. I suppose if you all want to give setting up your own local proxies a try, it couldn't hurt more than what you're stuck with now.

 

[petrusbroder]

OK, I got some ... but the PrimeGrid web is soooo slow!
The servers are up, but it takes for ever to renew pages, upload and download WUs ...

 

[somethingsketchy]

Crap, still nothing for W/U, even with the coaxing that was recommended in the above posts.

Allowed some R@H W/U to hold me over until I get something for PrimeGrid

 

[petrusbroder]

Project is down

The project's database server is down. Please check back in a few hours.

 

[somethingsketchy]

So much for the two day challenge. I wondering if they will extend the deadline, to get a continuous 48 hour contest?

 

[Rudy Toody]

I have moved back to my normal routine.

 

[GLeeM]

I'm still able to up/down load WUs!

 

[jalaram]

It was stuck for a long time on uploading, but I've got some tasks running right now.

 

[ZipSpeed]

A few of my machines managed to sneak in a few fresh WUs but most are still stuck on the uploading part. This race sure turned out to be anti-climatic!

 

[RobertE]

Looks like the server is only smoldering now vs smoking. All seems well at the moment.

 

[waffleironhead]

Just came back from taking my son to the park. I have communication differed for 6 hours.

Cant get any new units and cant upload the ones Ive finished. Back to coralizer I go.

Primegrid needs to look into some more bandwidth or server load balancing. The fast llr races are just too demanding on their systems.

 

[jalaram]

I've manually clicked the retry now button a few times to force uploads. If I hadn't, I probably would've been stuck for 6 hours as well.

The OP did warn about this becoming like a DDOS.

 

[Ken g6]

Well, I forgot 6-hour stats. :$ I was going to do 8-hour stats, but the user stats are missing names.

Here's the team stats, as of 01:40:07 UTC (I think):

Rank__Credits____Team
7_____55101______Team 2ch
8_____42049______BOINCstats
9_____36661______BOINC@Poland
10____35858______TeAm AnandTech
11____33211______Crunching Family
12____29441______The Knights Who Say Ni!
13____28296______Aggie The Pew

So at least we're 10th.

I have moved back to my normal routine.

Sorry to see you go, Fred. I know you don't like races with unreliable servers, but...

Yeah! These challenges are pretty brutal! I've still got primegrid turned on, I'm just feeding on other project wu's till I get some updates.

This isnt the first time primegrid has left my queue empty, and I doubt it will be the last.

I hope everyone else has better luck getting wu's than me.

 

[SlangNRox]

I ended up restarting my computer and then I got more wu. Hitting update, etc wasn't doing a thing

 

[somethingsketchy]

Does anyone else noticed that your Work Done and Avg Work Done counts haven't changed at all? I'm pretty sure I've been staring at the same 46468.50 credits for Work Done since 10PM EST last night.

 

[zzuupp]

All my completed tasks are accepted, but not have been validated.

I lost power for a few hours overnight. The storm hadn't gotten here then. So who knows what it was. Obviously, I'm up and running again despite the storm.

 

[biodoc]

Yes, not much of anything being updated since last night I guess. They claimed a failed router caused all the problems but there has to be more to it than that.

Anyway, it's still a race!! Go TeAm!!:thumbsup:

 

[waffleironhead]

Well, I am getting wu's this morning. Elves must have fixed to problem overnite.

Go TeAm!

 

[jalaram]

Any idea about stats? My statistics tab hasn't updated recently.
