140.163.4.231 not actually downloading work

[HaloJones]

Any client connecting to 140.163.4.231 for a new unit starts to download but barely moves past the 1st 1%. The client is then stuck permanently in a READY state.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm investigating.

Is this the only server you're having trouble with? I'm showing lots of WUs moving in and out of the server (plfah1-1.mskcc.org) just fine.

[JohnChodera]

I've restarted the work server just in case.

I wonder if this might be some sort of network congestion issue on our end.

This one is 140.163.4.242. Starts the download but two hours later it hasn't got the data to restart. Client just says READY.

Five different rigs all running Nvidia GPU clients have all had this at one time or another over the last 24 hours.

When was the last time you reset your router (and then restarted FAH if it seems appropriate)?

[HaloJones]

Router is reset regularly, FAH on all five rigs has now had this problem independently and across several days. Servers not sending work all begin 140.163.4. It also appears I'm not the only one who has had this problem as there is another similar thread now.

I know you're trying to help but I do not believe this is at my end or I would not have raised a thread here. You know I'm not a beginner at this stuff.

[JohnChodera]

Thanks for the updates. I wonder if we're having network problems on our end. I'll investigate that possibility.

[JohnChodera]

Is the issue still persisting? Is there any way to tell if others are having this issue as well?

[bruce]

@halojones:
I'd say you've run into the known issue in FAHClient V7.4.4 (though you have not posted the information that would show if you're running V7.4.4 or Beta V7.4.16). V7.4.4 is known to have problems never recovering from an internet interruption .. at least until you restart the client. Post the first two pages of your log, showing your configuration, including the client version you're running.

Resetting your router WITHOUT RESTARTING FAHCient V7.4.4 can cause the problem you're reporting.
