Seti Service Question: Need info!

[dxkj]

What happens if a service completes a WU, and then cant connect to the server? How often does it attempt to recconnect and download a new WU?

Just asking this because a while back they seemed to just sit around being lazy for a while after a queue went offline then back online while they were trying to submit a result.

Once an hour, I believe. That's what I see on my window when a WU can't be sent, or a WU can't be DL.

ok Guess thats alright. Not a huge waste of processing time (on these machines at least). Im not sure what my problem was during the summer, they could have just been stubborn.

If you had your SETI pointing directly to berkeley, I suggest you point it to one of our public setiqueue.

I have my own setiqueue setup because connections to berkeley is not reliable.

Or you could use SETI Driver to cache some workunits.
