Sixteen of the last eighteen 92MiB downloads since April 17, from highland3.seas.upenn.edu, took between 28 seconds and 54 seconds, with an average time of 36 seconds, except for the last two downloads. So, the download time has increased by 6.6 to 13.3 times! All downloads were 18260 work units. Fi...

You are in Australia, you have to account for the traffic between you and East coast USA, which is nearly across the world That doesn't explain why one server is very slow compared to another. Also, data travels very quickly over fibre optic cable, even across oceans. :ewink: A Speed test to from V...

My last two work units from highland3.seas.upenn.edu (158.130.118.25) were both 92MiB, and took six minutes each to download. An 80MiB upload occurring simultaneously with the first download took 12 minutes! A non-simultaneous 80MiB upload took just two minutes and 15 seconds. I believe the slow dow...

Can anyone confirm that this error doesn't occur when processing a 18261 work unit, while running v8?

I upgraded to Windows v8.5.5. Firstly, the v8.5.5 install doesn't remove a v7 installation, if v7 is not installed in the default Program directory. This screws up v8.5.5 install, as the v7 Start Menu items aren't removed. The fix was to run Uninstall.exe from within the v7 Program directory, and th...

So, that might be the reason why I keep getting mostly the same projects (18260-3 & 16773-5)?

So, some projects aren't being issued to v7 clients?

Will this mean that eventually there won't being any projects, perhaps just for newer GPUs, for v7 clients?

I can confirm that only 18261 work units cause this, and do so once every work unit: ERROR:std::exception: bad allocation ERROR:WU00:FS00:std::exception: bad allocation Project: 18261 (Run 155, Clone 2, Gen 22) is currently running and creating 31.7MB viewerFrame.json files, and using 11GB of RAM.

Hardly. I've seen viewerFrame.json files of 11 and 32 KB too.

RAM disk? Please use conventional storage devices for FAH. I've been using a RAM disk for years without any issues. The only thing that has changed is my GPU, which can produce viewerFrame.json files that are bigger than 32MB, for which I increased the size of the RAM disk, and Dynamic Memory Alloc...

It is up to the labs to apply for FAH participation I guess I'm thinking that they may not know about FAH, and inviting them, or just giving them an information pack, might lead to more work being both available and done. There is a list of current and past members of the Folding@home Consortium Th...

Are there any international research organisations participating in FAH?

If not, why not? Given the lack of work at times, wouldn't having more participants be better. Plus FAH is an international effort, so why not process work for international research organisations?
