Many BOINC-messages could use some polishing. The current server-issue served to cast some light on some of those messages. For example, there is confirmed a lot of CFSW tasks (continuing as of late), and so the BOINC-message "No tasks are available for Computing for Sustainable Water" is squarely incorrect*. My machines get instances of these incorrect BOINC-messages from time to time even before the current server-issue.

Notes:
*There are valid and legitimate reasons where no tasks can be downloaded to a client, but relying on a one-size-fits-all scenarios BOINC-message for the purpose makes for a less-than-smooth crunching-ride.

It's based off and mostly influenced by many small file downloads, which have a longer setup time, and then deteriorate the average DL rate of for instance a 1.82Kb sql file for CFSW. Mine does not measure over 32Kb most of the time, though the real is 20Mb.

Now, a sticky post at top of the CEP2 forum "New Project Setting" discusses this. There's an override so you can get CEP2 jobs nonetheless.

I currently have completed DSFL tasks that won't upload. I'm also unable to download new tasks. Is this somehow tied to the CFSW problem?

By the sounds of things, this issue is well on the way to being fixed permanently.

So, well done to all those in the background for all the hard work and effort that's been required to resolve this issue.

Whatever the attribution, extended Italian holidays, economics, project choice/continuity, server problems, sure to observe is the deepest summer decline seen in the WCG history:



Lets work to ramp this thing back up to new records.
