should download failed Wu decrease successive rate?

[vmzy]

I cann't got bonus points from June this year.But I only failed(calculating) 2 WU this.I have lost so many points.
Only change is that my isp always failed download WU from Stanford from June.
I just want to know why should unfinished download WU count into failed?
Because you can reassign it to others immediately.Or you should reassign that WU to my client when my client reconnect to AS.Or you should add Resume broken downloads to FAH client.

[P5-133XL]

When a WU is assigned to you, it has been assigned to you and no one else till the first deadline has elapsed. The WU does not get reassigned immediately to another but only after the first deadline elapses will it be given to another but even then it is also still yours and if you complete it before the final deadline you will still get the base credit for it (no bonus points). Failure to download, just means the server is waiting for you to download it and when connectivity improves a successful download will occur of the same WU. The client should keep trying periodically to download it till the final deadline elapses and only then it will dump it and try to get a new WU. If you do not finish DL'ing it and then return it by the final deadline then it will be counted as a failure to complete it. Why it counts as a failure -- Because you did not complete it in time!

That is how it is supposed to work. There are ways you can mess up the client so it gets reassigned a different WU. For example, reinstalling the client so the server thinks it is a different machine and assigns a different WU. However, the server is still holding the old WU for the old client so when the final deadline elapses, it will still count against you.

If there have been enough failures that it will take an unreasonable amount of successfull WU's to get you above that 80% success rate then the solution is to get a new passkey (needs a different E-Mail address) and re-qualify using the new passkey with just 10 WU's

[vmzy]

did you try this by yourself?when v7 download failed,AS will assign another WU to me, rather than reassign older one to me.
I think if AS don`t fix this bug.whatever passkey I use,my successive rate will never reach 80%.

you can see from the log.the AS assign my client to 171.64.65.104 at first. then it stucked (ticket#911).one hour later I restart my router,and AS reassign my client to 171.67.108.58,and it download successfully.and my successive rate was dropped down by your AS.
Please reply by the truth instead of your imagination.

P5 expressed how the v6 client works, and when the V7 client is fixed will work the same way.

Until you can get a faster and more reliable network connection, you should go back to running the v6 client!!!

[Grandpa_01]

He did reply with the truth when you rebooted your router you got assigned another IP address by your router thus Stanford servers thinks you are a different computer. The problem appears to be with your router have you tried a different router or upgraded your firmware on your router.

I don't believe that is correct. Look at your official stats. It reports Active clients (within 50 days) and Active clients (within 7 days). Reboot your router as frequently as necessary but your active client count will not increase. When you reboot your router, you might get a new IP address but F@H does not use your IP address. (Every client within our University's dorm uses the same IP address and they're certainly not counted as a single client.)

[vmzy]

thank you for all your reply above.
1.In China only china-net(isp) have stable international connection with fah.But its very expensive.So its difficult for me to change my isp only for FAH.Because boinc is correct but only FAH have download problem.

2.If its a bug with v7.Is there any ticket No for it?So I can track it and will know when to come back to v7.
I will change my client back to v6.34 ASAP.
