Hi guys.
New user here.
Keep getting this error in the log:
07:26:52:WARNING:WU01:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': Failed to connect to 18.218.241.186:80: Et forsøg på at oprette forbindelse mislykkedes, fordi den part, der havde oprettet forbindelse, ikke svarede korrekt efter en periode, eller en oprettet forbindelse blev afbrudt, fordi værten ikke svarede.
07:26:52:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Exception: Could not get an assignment
I have checked firewall and all ports are open..
Please help?

Mod Edit: Added Code Tags - PantherX

[foldy]

I see the same problem on my system. Currently there is a server issue so no work units can be downloaded. Try again tomorrow.

[PantherX]

From your log, I can see that you're not using a passkey. It is recommended to use a passkey for security and points reason. Here's the information for you to make a decision: https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/

I would suggest that you modify the CPU Slot to use 8 CPUs, The reason is you need 1 CPU to feed your GPU (as it is Nvidia) and 11 CPUs will cause issues so the next safest number is 8. The reason 11 CPUs will cause an issue is because the WU can't be easily divided up to fold across those 11 CPUs, For more details, search this Forum for domain decomposition. To modify the CPU value, follow these instructions:
FAHControl -> Configure -> Sots Tab -> CPU Slot -> Edit -> CPU value is 8

From your system, can you please navigate to this site:
https://assign1.foldingathome.org/

If everything is working fine, then you should see a web page load with the F@H logo and the words "Assignment Server"

I am aware that due to the excessive load on the F@H Servers due to a surge of new donors, it may take a while for new WUs to be assigned: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=33193
While things have improved, there is still more work that is happening to fully meet the demand for the Donors.

[Neil-B]

If you go up one page from the passkey link PantherX linked above you will get a description of the points system and the QRB - QRB has a very significant impact on points for faster machines.

[Skidesaar]

Ty for quick responses!

The advice for passkey is good but not for me, since i dont really care bout the points.
I changed the CPU to 8, ty.
The webpage you asked me to go to, works like you said.
So you say the reason i get those connect errors are due to no WU available?

[PantherX]

...So you say the reason i get those connect errors are due to no WU available?

I would say that the WUs are available but the F@H Servers have have reached their limited on bandwith and connectivity. Thus, it will take longer than normal for a new WU to be downloaded. My suggestion is to just leave the F@H Client running and eventually, it will successfully connect and download a new WU for your system to fold

[JimboPalmer]

So you say the reason i get those connect errors are due to no WU available?

I suspect the servers are so busy, they have no time to hand out Work Units. I think the work is there if the server was not swamped.

[Skidesaar]

Wow.. thats really not good. I mean, with all the focus on helping and then the systems cant handle the pressure

[anandhanju]

Can you try quitting your client and restarting it? Have you never received any work or is the lack of work a recent issue?

[PantherX]

Wow.. thats really not good. I mean, with all the focus on helping and then the systems cant handle the pressure

Two main reasons:
It's happening because of an approximately 20x increase in demand
Every time we double our server resources, the number of Donors trying to help goes up by a factor of 4, outstripping whatever we do
Details: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=33193

Good news is that there has been quite a few new F@H Servers brought online over the last few weeks but that's still not sufficient but more are on their way. Given that the F@H Team is a small team with a single developer, they have been doing very well

[foldy]

Good news I can connect to 18.218.241.186:80 again and got a work unit. So just be patient

[Skidesaar]

Its works now!
Well.. that is an explanation sure.. but, if there are more donors than work, then is this even needed? I mean i came here thinking that there was a huge need for pc power.. but seems like there isnt enough jobs for it. And havent this existed since 2000? I remember using it back then, so these issues should have had enough time to be delt with. Or maybe im seeing it wrong.

There's enough work for dozens of FAH. But the present rush of donors has to be compensated by a surge in the activity of scientists who feed the system with jobs (Work Units) and above all in the server architecture. Yet setting up a server for FAH is not really as straightforward as downloading a software and clic "Run", especially in those troubled times. You can see an example here: https://youtu.be/HaMjPs66cTs

From what I could gather hanging around here, the server capacity of FAH is now about 14 times what it was at the beginning of this year. For such a system, this is really huge. And unthinkable, actually, as nothing could permit to foresee this evolution and its rate. But then the capacity of the donors is about 20 times as high as it was. So there's still a gap, and still some waiting time. But the purpose is solid and we should stick to it.
