Folding Forum

Look up the thread: PantherX is dealing with this, so give him and the team time to work on the problem.

Monday morning-itis? Since about 23:00 GMT last night the "points earned" display on Web Control hasn't updated on any of my clients, nor on my team stats page. WUs are completing and being uploaded and my stats extremeoverclocking.com are updating OK. I tried pausing then restarting the c...

That's an interesting idea Neil. Easy to do, so I will try to remember next time I get a download hang.

Just a +1 for this problem. It's happened a couple of times recently on different PCs, so I don't think it's a system problem at this end. The only solution I have found is to terminate the client in task manager. Just closing the client and restarting it doesn't work: although the client task bar i...

I turned off the firewall exception but then enjoyed something of a charmed existence for most of today, getting allocated to other WSs. Eventually my luck ran out and I got a big job (94MB upload) from our errant WS. After 25 minutes of failed attempts it sluggishly uploaded and... success! Server ...

I think it would have to be something else, PantherX, probably at a TCP/IP level rather than payload content, since the firewall was clearly throwing a hissy fit at it. Of course the server almost certainly is not sending plain text. Maybe I should wireshark it to find out. I don't suppose the proto...

I mean, that's going to do nothing. I hear you but the fact remains that my firewall was seeing something coming at it from 3.133.76.19 at the end of the upload sequence that it did not like the look of. And uploads were failing at that exact point. And now they are not. Short of wiresharking the i...

Quick update: the next WU upload to 3.133.76.19 took a few attempts to get started but then proceeded to completion without any problem. So for now the firewall exception stays put!

Thanks uyaem and thank you PantherX for reporting it. I will keep an eye on what happens with the next two WUs to upload to that WS, coming up in 24 minutes and a couple of hours.

Updated post. This WU just won't upload to the WS, after nearly two hours. I can't see that there is anything wrong at this end and WUs are going to other WS with no problem. Any idea what the problem might be? 16:57:50:WU01:FS04:0x22:Saving result file ..\logfile_01.txt 16:57:50:WU01:FS04:0x22:Savi...

Every single WU upload to 3.133.76.19 has failed multiple times today, sometimes taking well over an hour and 20+ attempts to finally get started. Even then the upload often fails part way through. Often it takes longer to upload the results that it takes to run the WU! Unfortunately I seem to hit t...

Thanks Neil. I'm guessing that fireside chat is fairly recent but can't seem to find a date stamp. I didn't know they happened so I'll work my way through this one and keep an eye out for others. By inspection I can see that WUs are indeed uploaded to the issuing WS (or its CS - that seems to happen...

Please note that Server 3.133.76.19 is under load so it might take a bit of time for the upload to happen. Very noticeably so, my client just took 17 minutes to upload 64Mb to 3.133.76.19 with an uplink speed of 20Mbit/s. Is there no load sharing mechanism or are all the servers struggling? I seem ...

Thanks PantherX, that was more or less what I thought. It's much less of a problem today, so I suspect it was just a server overload that has been fixed or my clients are now not using. The three primary folding PCs are all on and F@h client running, 24x7. By the way, the supply of WUs now seems to ...

Just recently (last 48 hours-ish) I have been getting a large number of upload attempt failures and/or extremely slow uploads. Often it can take ten minutes or more to send the file and that is enough, with a fast system, to significantly reduce the points (and therefore, presumably the usefulness) ...
