Just have a single _13 upload for an eu model still waiting patiently for a server to accept it.

Bellator

That's a very old type of message. I thought that it had been removed from BOINC years ago.
As it's still there, the best advice is: Ignore it.
If the model IS going to crash, then just let it do that by itself.

I was thinking about this from another user a week or so back, and wondered at the time if I should post a list of thoughts on the matter.
I now have, at the top of the Preferences section.

**************

If you're saying that you have several trickle_up files still on your computer, then that IS a problem, as the trickle server is working OK.

What are the messages for the reason that they're not uploading?

Lockleys

The restart server to which zip 13s go should be working.
Any messages about why it's not uploading?

Les

I just get the standard message in the Event Log whenever the _13 zip attempts an upload. For example:

This one stays stuck regardless of whether I close and reload CPDN or even reboot the PC.

Thank you Les.
As you can see, I have been getting trickles for a month now. This is one of two WU, the other has identical results.
In my account, the total credit is stuck at 189,838 or 193,838, depending on where you look. I do not get any messages, just a note in the log that a trickle is being uploaded. So I now have twice 7 trickles, but no credit as far as I can see.

---

The credit scripts get run manually now and then when Jonathan gets the time to keep an eye on what happens.

At the moment, it's about once per month, so credits can't be used as a measure of anything.

Lockleys

OK, I'll email them.

I assume it's known that the server handling eu WUs is down? I have a pair here (eu_c0 series) that have completed but half the zip files are still sitting on my machine, waiting to upload.

Hello everyone. I am just reporting some of my latest BOINC Event Log Messages in case it might help.

thank you to staff, Moderators and volunteers for doing your best under the current circumstances.

Hello everyone.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same problem and was hoping it would get fixed, yet day after day it's still stuck. The stuck units seem to be preventing a different project that requires all 8 cpu's from executing---because of a bug in BOING client I believe, that makes the BOINC client think that finished tasks queued for upload still require a cpu. (My BOINC client may not be the newest, but not ancient; it's only a version or two behind.)

Never experienced this so am clutching at straws. Is it possible to kickstart the last cpu by either temorarily suspending CPDN and or network activity?

They're stuck because a server is down.
And it's the weekend.

oops, my bad---and no such boinc bug after all.

After trying what you suggested I realized my computing prefs we set to allow only for 7 cpu's to work on boinc.

sorry all, and thanks for the feedback/pointer.

And upload server seems to be back on according to Server Status page but for those who haven't read this before, please be patient as it is probably now getting hammered with upload requests so you may get transient http error messages.

Thank you Dave. I can report that all my European region,

Finished upload of hadam3p_eu_g3h1_2013_1_008852446_2_7.zip

have uploaded from my BOINC transfer tab.

Not an upload problem but Downloading of the new hadam3prm3pm2t_eu.

Something is funky on the server, boinc client can't find them.

Same here, I set my preferences to only these work units after a suggestion elsewhere to download these to test. As I had download other tasks if none of selected available, I just filled up with short models, I will alert admin types on mailing list.

Edit: Les has also picked up on this.

I see that these models have now all gone so whatever was stopping them from downloading is resolved.

My log only goes back through 11/4 but I have some ANZ completed workloads that continue to be hung. Is there something that has to be done on my end to free them?

Almost certainly not, the ANZ models go to a different server, (not an Oxford one) and my guess is they will go when it comes back on line.
