171.64.65.64 (Windows SMP) problem

According to serverstats, it's DL has only 1 day left. I am constantly stuck in the following loop:

Also interesting to note is there is always a 2 minute pause between connecting to the server and the "Posted data" message, if that helps at all.

The "bad packet" message generally means that you're communicating through a proxy that is doing bad things to some of the protocol messages.

Or maybe that you don't accept big WUs ?

No I do accept big WU's, and I am certainly not intentionally using a proxy.

I am in South Africa and we have a pretty small pipe overseas, and I think my ISP proxies all traffic "transparently". Guess its more like "slightly opaquely" than transparently. They do it to conserve international bandwidth but I have occasionally had issues that would be explained by a proxy before. After a while I eventually do get a WU but I do get the above error quite a few times. I will report this to my ISP.

Thank you for the responses.

I'm experiencing a very similar issue : "Error: Bad work unit. Digital signatures don't match" & "Initial: 0000; - Error: Bad packet type from server, expected work assignment"

I tried the usual tricks, deleting the core, queue.dat and work folder to no avail, I keep getting bad WUs from this server.

-----EDIT-----

The server stopped sending me crap WU on or around 0115 GMT

Code: Select all
