Fairly frequent timeouts downloading workunits

Post by BOB850123 »

I've recently been noticing that I fairly often have these timeouts attempting to download work units. This is new within the last week or so. Most units do succeed, and do so immediately. I've observed this across multiple systems, so feels like something on the server side or somewhere in between. Mostly just curious if this is a known issue or something others are encountering as well.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was also wondering what was going on when I noticed 'warnings' against hosts in the GUI. I've noticed them in the last few days, presumably due to downloads ultimately being given up on. I understand the time-sensitive requirements of F@h meaning that only one WU at a time is distributed, but it's times like these that I appreciate the queued-buffer approach of BOINC infrastructure.
