Uploads and downloads seem to be blocked, so my computers won't be able to do any more tasks until this is fixed.

Re: Uploads and downloads seem to be blocked

I also woke up to see my machines struggling to transfer work. Some of them have had success after a few rounds of hitting the "Retry Now" button on a hung transfer. But, I'm glad WCG is part of Boinc where I can direct cycles to other projects pretty seamlessly while this sorts out.

/edit: Here's another thread with a lot of discussion:

!!! @WCG SERVER OPERATORS and TECHs
----------------------------------------------
This is happening again right now ...

What was also going on when this happened a few days ago and is also happening now is that a batch or more of very short FAAH Phase 1 (FAHV) that run for only about 2 min (under Linux) are being sent out & results received.

Your file transfer servers are not coping.

The more usual FAHV WUs run for30-60 min, and have "Rigid" in their name.
The short ones do not have "Rigid" in their name.

Maybe you could intermix these 2 types of WU in your despatch queue.
You might also consider increasing the cap on the no of WUs per CPU core, currently 35, that we can cache.

Edit: When this happened before, I had machines run out of work and sit idle. When they could get work, the cache was limited to only about 1h due to the short WUs and the WUs-per-core limit.
