Whats up with my DF production?

Ok all three of my machines have been running DF all day today with no interuptions. DFGUI reports my output at 5structures/second or 108,000structures/6 hours. Usually I have been getting 95,000 structures at every 6 hour update at Statsman. The last two updates however, I have only done 55,000 structures each. Nothing has changed what the heck is the problem?😕 All three computers are attached to the same LAN and all internet connections are working properly.
 
anything in the error logs?

you set up for large buffers? If the net was down and you were set for small buffers, it would only keep 6

edit: Either that or Sun MicroSystems really does do Vodoo 😉
 
Crap checksum error 903. How the heck do I fix that. Says it is either network problems or invalid handle but the handle is correct and the computer isn't experiencing any network problems. Looks like I have 330,015 structures waiting to be sent in.
 
Hey!

(I'll be glad to let you use my handle if you want 😀 )


You can copy the directories and take them to another computer and try it there (described in the readme1st.txt)

With all three comps doing it, probably is the connection to the DF server that is fouled up somehow. Assuming you have

already tried restarting the comps, I don't know what else to suggest.

afterthought: You could try deleting the handle.txt file so the client will make you re-enter it when you start it again.
 
No, it is just one of the three computers and it is not the network connection. What I think happened is the internet connection got reset after one of the files was uploaded (it uploads two files for each result?). Then everything got messed up.

When it can't upload it creates a file called filelist.txt to keep track of completed results in order and then keeps processing and uploads them when the connection comes back. Seems though after 6 results it stopped keeping track and now I have 30 results sitting here that I can't upload. Looks like I have to reconstruct the filelist.txt file as it should have been but after it uploaded it, it deleted the file so I don't have a model to go by. Anyone have one of these files in their folder they could send me to go off of? Of course to have this file in your folder you would have to have an error so I think I'm out of luck.
 
Well it took a lot of cut and paste but I got some of the results to upload. Some were messed up and wouldn't go but I think I got all the good ones to go.
 
Glad ya got it working 😎

For next time, I'd suggest adding -df to line in foldit.bat (see readme1st.txt) so you will use large buffers. That'll let it save more than 6 buffers before it quits trying if the network connection goes south.

If you notice it hasn't uploaded someday, try stopping the client, and then re-start it. That will force it to try to upload.

PS: sorry I didn't answer sooner, but if I don't get to bed on time, my hair falls out (tee hee)
 
Yeah I figured out the hard way that if you stop it and then restart it then it will rebuild the filelist.txt file for you. What I had to do though was stop it, delete the bad file from the top of that list, remove it from the folder, and then restart it so the good ones could go through.
