Hi. Sorry to be repetitive, but I haven't had a clear answer on this and, from other postings I see, I suspect that many contributors are affected by this problem and may not be aware of it.
1. OK, I know that 171.64.122.78:8080 has been down for weeks - fair enough.
2. But the one other server that my winfah attempts to connect to is supposed to be up, accoriding to what is being said in the forums, yet I have connected to both of these servers 171.64.122.78:8080 AND 171.64.122.76:8080 ("[15:45:27] - 295 failed uploads of this unit.") hundreds of times without success.
winfah communicates very briefly with the [down] 171.64.122.78:8080, but it often takes 10 - 30 seconds elapsed in communicating with 171.64.122.76:8080 before failing, which makes me think that there is communication but that the work unit is failing to be sent for some reason that is not apparent.
Can anyone clarify why upload to 171.64.122.76:8080 should fail hundreds of times while the server is supposedly up and accepting WUs ?
And is it normal that winfah would only attempt to connect to these two servers alone, and to no other servers, for uploading of work units, for weeks at a time ?
I have tried using the qd utility to look at the work queue (output below), and I have tried deleting every finished work unit from the queue leaving only this one unit, and I have tried using the qfix utility to repair the queue. Nothing has helped. Nothing.
