Hi folks,
I receive Transient HTTP error when trying to download wah2_pnw25_zhlk_200312_24_406_010600701 model and its parts. BOINC suggests that Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down, but server status page looks OK. Anyone else having download problems?

Cheers

A second WU is failing to download on another machine, so I suspended those tasks and set BOINC to no new tasks, until it is resolved. The second machine is Windows one so BOINC log is more informative: Failed to connect on port 80 of download.cpdn.org.

Yeah i'm having the same issue. I got 2 wus that won't download; they just keep backing off.
Seems that we can"t connect to the download server but Server Status says its 'running'.

Server Status says that the computer is running, not that all of the daemons are.

One or more of these must have failed.

Email sent.

Seems fixed. Units downloaded and now crunching. Thanks Les

Yep, seems back on track. Thanks, Les.

Why do I get no WU?

But server status shows 12700 available.

You may have to look at other message lines to work it out.

However, one of your computers is crashing everything, and the other has crashed several.

These 2 links may give you some ideas about your error messages:

"finish file present too long" error

finish file present too long

There are no other messages.

[climateprediction.net] Project has no tasks available

And consistent with this server status page showing no work at present.

I do not recall having seen the bin empty before.
Dave, yours is the only comment, and one would expect much more.
I presume that the proper procedure now would be "No New Tasks", to allow orderly recovery, if one is planned.

Wrong!
Desti and his reply to a previous message solves the problem.

Daemons.

Reverting to Bernard's original problem: Two of my machines each have a wah2_cafr25 ... batch 468 task with five small download files hung -- swinging in the breeze for more than a day -- analogous to the situation Bernard describes.

Anyone else have the problem? With batch 468 or any other tasks/batches?

Perhaps it's to do with some parts being on the new servers, but links are pointing to the old servers.

Looks like it. Can't ping the IP address from the log (126.67.195.140) and traceroute only gets as far as the Oxford ja.net address. Does this help?

Traceroute and similar programs are blocked at the entry point to the JA network.

My guess is that everyone will have to wait until such time as sufficient parts of our system have been migrated to the new servers, etc.

Which is why my computers are not only set for NNW, they've turned off.

I'll wait hopping BOINC (or other power) won't finally dismiss the WU that can't be downloaded while waiting for Oxford to get the new servers on. I do not want to abort as ultimately the WU may be lost due to errors limit.

Download of 9 tasks have stalled for 4 hours. I'll keep watch, but can't see any server issues.
e.g.

Mine is old and has been stuck for 5 days already, yours seem to be brand new WUs and if they are stalled then I hope this will become priority to be fixed.
