Problems downloading new work unit

Post by Schrödinger's cat »

My GPU has experienced lots of

Code: Select all

Exception: Transfer failed
for the last three hours, during very slow downloading of a new work unit (@<350kbit/s). Is this problem restricted to v7?

Also, is it possible to have FAH Control open whenever Folding@Home is manually started in Windows. I removed the command that opened web control, and can't recall the correct syntax.

Not by client. You can probably make a startup shortcut for FAHControl manually.

If you look around these forums you might have noticed that FAH had some server issues in past several days, your GPU transfer failed messages might be related to that

I haven't seen any other posts about very slow (55.54MB of 74.10MB @ 34.16KB/s), and which then fail, downloading problems.

Thankfully the problem was resolved about 30 minutes after I posted about it. Could someone have seen my post and fixed something?

Definitely not :) Researchers and their uni admins do not frequent these forum sections
