You are not alone. HTTP 503 here too.

Netload's back at 200. Every time Dr. K. bumps it, it heads right back to 200 connections and trouble. Good to hear about the upcoming equipment upgrade.

Actually it's at 202 ATM.

Additional server is welcomed. I've got 5 machines waiting for work now, 4 of them for over 12 hours.

65.56 needs another kick please. At the time of this post, net load is over 200 again. :(

How can I get permanently assigned to Server 171.64.65.54, I have no problems with that one, but as soon as I get assigned a WU from Server 171.64.65.56 and go to return it, it is usually overloaded? GRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm sorry about this. We're monitoring the situation and have a longer term solution (new servers, work distributed amongst them), but that will take some time to get on line (sorry it's taking so long).

What happens to WUs that fail to upload like this? Do they expire when the deadline passes? Is the bonus frittered away?

In this case, you bonus points will reduce according to the delay caused by the Server. If you cross the Preferred Deadline, you will be assigned Base Credits. If you cross the Final Deadline, you will not get any credits and the Client will delete the WU and move on. Sorry but that is the way it currently works. Hopefully when new SMP Servers are added, this will be history and we all will be happy.

I understand how long it takes to get new servers on-line but there's a real conflict between how long that's going to take and how long it takes for our QRBonus to decay. Are there any short-term solutions that can help? Why can't at least some of the work be distributed as has been suggested here?

Wow. It shouldn't be that difficult to read the code detailing beginning and end of the processing time, and rewarding the contribution accordingly so that users aren't penalized for server side issues.

You're assuming that all failure to upload problems are server-side issues. That may be true much of the time and it's certainly true right now, but I'll bet that folks would find a way to cheat. I have not tried it, but what happens if you adjusting your clock to show that the WU finished one minuted after you downloaded it but then corrected the clock before you uploaded the WU, blaming all of your processing time on a server outage.

The points cannot be based on any clock other than the server clock.

Stanford said that they recognized the possibility of server problems and that they'd do their best to maintain the servers but it was a risk that you'd have to accept. Are you saying that you don't believe that they are making a sincere effort to correct the problems? If so, I disagree with you.

Assuming that the problems with this server will continue until a new server comes on-line, some folks might actually benefit by temporarily suspending SMP. Multiple uniprocessor clients normally earn less PPD than SMP, but you don't have to reduce the PPD for SMP very much before multiple clients win out because of their reliability. At least it's an alternative to consider.

I'm not assuming that at all. But I am assuming that, when server issues do arise, that a system could be implemented to address it. This has been done in the past, with mass point credits as users are "caught up", and would simply need to be adjusted to accommodate the bonus system.
