Is anyone else having issues uploading? In the last couple of days I have seen all my PNW zip files stuck trying to upload. Between 6 machines I have over 180 zip files that don't seem to want to start their transfers. BOINC is saying they are Transient HTTP errors.

Internet access seems fine, even to the CPDN web site and scheduler requests seem to work. I've tried resetting the router and flushing DNS cache.

They are all the recent pnw_x??? series work units downloaded in the last week or so. Machines are all Win10 x64 and running BOINC 7.6.9.

And then it happily connects to Google as the reference site.

It seems its trying to connect to boinc1.coas.oregonstate.edu and timing out.

Server problems. It must be Friday! Linux boxes don't run those tasks and the ones I have all go to different servers from the pnw ones. I don't know about the Oregon servers but the Oxford ones don't get fixed at weekends!

Incidentally, while checking, I noticed that credit hasn't gone up for a few days and that is Oxford!

I have the same problem. One zip file stuck in the transfer tab. It is Friday isn�t it.

And the credits do seem to be stuck since yesterday.

One flavor of PNW tasks had upload problems: "x" series. Oxford was notified yesterday and uploads are now in progress.

On the off-topic issue, have you checked credits recently?

Greetings from coastal Washington state, the scenic US Pacific Northwest.

The stuck hadam3p_pnw zip files have started uploading.

All my backed up zip files have now cleared.

On the off topic issue, credits have gone up. Don't know if the increaseed allocation for WAH tasks is there yet as my Linux box doesn't run them.

Message from Prof.David Wallom:

We have now restarted the majority of services within the CPDN project including all central BOINC services. We are restarting the local (Oxford) upload server shortly in a manner that will allow up to control load into the main infrastructure so those waiting to upload there please be patient.

Everything is in the green but none of my 413 queued .zip files managed to get through the load -- yet. The operative part of the message is services are restored but PATIENCE is required.

'.zip' files sent to Oregon State U. and tasks marked complete 'reported' this morning (GMT-8 time zone). It's a start . . .

Hi Everybody,
I'm also having 7 WU's ready and awaiting upload :

I have this now since 14/10 (I'm aware that the project servers were down for a while, but they seem to be up and running again now)
I'm not able to download new WU's either.

Is it possible to investigate both topics please ?

Many thanks in advance !

I downloaded two new workunits yesterday. The server status page http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/server_status.html is showing that the only tasks available at the moment are for Linux. I suspect that the only problem with sending zips is that the servers are really getting hammered . I have something like 2GB waiting to go between my two machines. I have suspended network activity after downloading some more work and unless I see signs that things are moving won't try again till tomorrow. I don't really know if there are enough of us making our machines wait to make a difference but...........

I do have a problem with the upload as well (running on Linux). Is there a solution available already?

The solution is to wait until the vast number of crunchers who set and forget have uploaded their backlog and the number of requests to upload work reduces to something within the bandwidth the servers can cope with.

I cound't upload results for more than 1 week.
These are the error messages:

Please have a look and give an advice !

*** Since I'm a fool I prooved that the system is not foolproof ;-) ***

I cound't upload results for more than 1 week.

That is because the servers have been down for more than a week.

my .zip files for hadam3p_afr_eluy_2011 just started to upload 27 Oct 2015, 14:12:19 UTC

I thik I will still wait till tomorrow before trying on the laptop which has over 1.5GB worth of zip files to send.

Oops I think I spoke too soon,
the following BOINC log event as of: 16:53 UTC:

The sever must be getting hammered with all the uploads,
and so I think I will suspend my network activity to give the servers a break.

I only had 10 zips waiting, they went sometime this afternoon, both tasks have reported as completed.

The servers have been back online for a couple days now, but I still cannot get even a single byte uploaded to them. All connections time-out.
