I cannot ping this work server.
Is there a way for me to send this finished WU to a machine that wants it?
Seems odd that the collection server is 0.0.0.0

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

Something is definitely going on with that server. The client type has changed from SMP to classic in the past few hours and the info at the end of the status line is mostly missing. Possibly the server is being worked on and might be back to 'normal' soon.
Just finished downloading a WU from this server and another WU is currently uploading to it. The client designation is back to SMP. Appears to be working 'normal' again.
Yes, the next WU was downloaded, but I still cannot return the finished one.
Machine is pingable with ping from the command line. Cannot upload, cannot get and "OK" with firefox.
Thanks for the news that it is working for someone.
I'm not convinced my new machine is set up right. Most of my folding has been win&&GPU. This box is Kubuntu10.10/kraken/langoste built especially for high value BigAdv.
It runs fine on smp without -bigadv. but it is frustrating to fold long enough to send in twelve smp wu's (3 days); and have nothing to show for it but a stranded file.
Bonus points evaporate fast.
IF this is NOT my error, is BigAdv STILL broken on the server end? If so (and this is a frustrating way to find out) will an "all clear" message get posted, when it is really fixed?
I expected some teething problems on my end with the new box, but how can I tell if the connection fault is mine or not?
It feels like it would be handy to be able to re-direct a finished WU to a slightly smarter(or long list of dumb) collection server(s)
some flag that is the analog of talking to the manager at a store.
It's been a while since I used langouste but I seem to recall that once langouste takes the file for upload you can't use the -send all because the results are no longer in the work directory. I think it moves the results to a langouste sub-directory but since it's been so long I don't remember the location. Maybe ask in the langouste thread how to resend a failed upload:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11615&hilit=langouste
It could be that when the client's autosend kicks in (can be up to 6 hours) then langouste will try to send again but you'll get more support in that 3rd party thread.

The machine that wants it is never the Collection Server (CS), it's your Work Server (WS). A CS is a redundant server that can sometimes accept an upload and forward it to the actual WS later. Not having a working CS isn't a problem except after the assigned WS fails.

The OK message is gradually being removed since it's unnecessary. If you get a 404 error, the server is down. If you get either an OK message or a blank screen, the server is operational at some basic level.
I am now running again, so this is just FYI. It occurred after the server was brought back online. I see the IO ERROR, but thought the file transfer size may be related to the server issue since a reboot did not resolve the IO error.
One of my machines entered the following loop. I deleted the log, queue and machinedependant.dat to resolve the issue.
I am having trouble uploading a 6901 WU to this server. It has been trying for most of the afternoon/evening without success. Should this server be back up now, or is this WU now garbage?

I can also confirm it is back up and accepting. It turns out this was just a coincidence and the problem was actually on my end. I am using Ubuntu 12.04, which was working great. Yesterday though, I could connect to download (to F@H and other servers) but not upload (even though I could browse the web). I tried restarting the client a couple times but no luck. Finally, I stopped the client, installed the latest updates, and rebooted. Now it appears to be uploading and downloading normally. Not sure if it just needed a reboot or if one of the older updates was actually defective, but now it seems to be fixed. Thanks for keeping this post up to date so that I could realize the problem was on my end and not yours.
It was either Ubuntu (12.04) or the computer just needed a reboot. Here is what happened:
Previous week, folding was normal on Ubuntu 12.04
Installed updates to 12.04 (reboot)
Started folding again, could download WUs but not upload. Then tried an internet speed test. I could again download but not upload. Restarted folding client several times, problem remained.
Stopped folding, installed new 12.04 updates (it had been a couple days), (reboot)
Started folding again and everything worked (and has ever since I think).
So I can't be 100% sure, but it seems that an Ubuntu 12.04 update may have broken and then fixed it. Not sure what update (driver firmware, network manager, etc.)
