What ever PG and company are doing...........it is not working the return rate and hang for WU not found is worse today than yesterday. It seems I have a 50-50 chance of a finished WU uploading. If it doesn't upload it just hangs before it acquires a new WU. If I intervene and restart it I will get a new WU but who knows if it will upload when finished.

Whats worse ... It's almost The WEEEK END !!!! WE'RE ALL DOOOMED!!!!

Posted: **Sat Feb 20, 2010 2:15 am**

Well, Joe and I worked through last weekend on this, why should this one be any different!

Posted: **Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:30 am**

I would like to thank Joe and Vijay for the efforts they are putting in to resolve this.

Over the last 24 hours I have had 38 WUs return to the results server, with 23 of these being over the last 6 hours. A number of these were WUs that failed to be sent back earlier in the day.

However, there are still issues: on my 4 GPU system one GPU hung for over 20 minutes attempting to send results (this was an hour ago) until I reset the wireless network connection.
(Note that my internet connection was still working fine, the reset was simply to force the GPU client to try to connect to the results server again.)

I still have some WU's which have failed to return to the results server, but will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

I consider this a very positive report. Having WUs upload which have not been uploading is a very good sign that SOMETHING is going right that wasn't going right before.

The fact that not everything can be uploaded isn't necessarily a bad sign. We are are on page 19 of this topic and there are several other topics on the same subject. If I had to respond to each of these posts, it would take me a long time. The server is facing a similar issue with a huge number of clients all trying to upload from their relatively long queue of WUs. Even if a perfect fix has been installed on the server, it will take quite a while before the server is able to successfully accept that backlog. Waiting to see what tomorrow brings is the right attitude, though it may take longer than one day. Moreover, if there are several problems, Joe/Vijay won't be able to tell until the load goes down enough to see what's actually going up, what's being rejected because of the overload, and if there still are some that are rejected for some other unexplained reason.

It depends on who is asking. The WU has been completed but not by anybody named Hondo so it's reasonable to assume that it was reassigned and somebody else completed it while you still have a second copy waiting to upload.

If you can give me the name to whom it should have been credited and/or the upload/download times associated with the copy you're talking about I'll provide you the information.

That's great to hear. I'd like to think this is now fixed, but having felt that way several times over the last week, I think it's still too early to know for sure. I think at least in this case, Joe's WS fix makes sense. We'll know more tomorrow morning. As of right now, it looks good.

F@H has been successfully uploading WUs so i guess that's a great news for all of us. I did notice that it takes at least 6 attempts to get a new WU and am hoping that it isn't a new bug or something like that.
