Stuck uploads: Error reported by file upload server: can't open file
Some of my FAAH2 trickle-uploads are refusing to proceed.
This does not seem to have happened for FAAH2 uploads in the past, and AFAIK nothing has changed at my end.
I currently have 1 stuck upload on each of 3 different devices, which are all running Win 7 x64.
Issuing re-try commands is useless. Example:
7/10/2017 3:26:33 PM | World Community Grid | Started upload of FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283268113_15
7/10/2017 3:26:36 PM | World Community Grid | [error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open file
7/10/2017 3:26:36 PM | World Community Grid | Temporarily failed upload of FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283268113_15: transient upload error
7/10/2017 3:26:36 PM | World Community Grid | Backing off 04:43:01 on upload of FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283268113_15
The files exist in the BOINC data /projects/WCG directories and they have non-zero size, eg:
D:\>ls -l D:\BOINCdata\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283
268113_15
-rw-rw-rw- 1 12045 Oct 7 11:36 D:\BOINCdata\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283
268113_15
So far, later uploads from the WUs with the stuck trickle-ups have succeeeded and the tasks have completed successfully, but they still have status Uploading and can't Report.
The other 2 stuck files are:
FAH2_001314_zinc00716061_000001_0014_028_1_r786566909_2
FAH2_001292_zinc22130509_000001_0019_022_0_r1525484757_13
I have uploaded the files to the 4shared file-sharing site, but you have to register with the site (free) to download them, and I haven't created a second 4shared ID to check that they can actually be downloaded.
URLs of the downloads are:
https://www.4shared.com/file/asJWBHX9ca/FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_00000.html
https://www.4shared.com/file/veZKblDxei/FAH2_001292_zinc22130509_00000.html
https://www.4shared.com/file/zMXzPAArca/FAH2_001314_zinc00716061_00000.html
Explanations???
If the files are malformed, surely the BOINC server should say so. If it really can't open them, how would it know thay are bad?

Update:
8/10/2017 9:08:30 AM | World Community Grid | Result FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1 is no longer usable
9/10/2017 8:07:12 AM | World Community Grid | Finished upload of FAH2_001282_zinc19731487_000007_0007_030_1_r283268113_15
Result record now:
FAH2_ 001282_ zinc19731487_ 000007_ 0007_ 030_ 1-- Deimos Valid 10/4/17 00:44:42 10/7/17 17:55:27 11.98 / 0.00 349.6 / 349.6
Good news is that my results for this WU were accepted and credited, even though my BOINC client received the "no longer usable" message.
But why did the upload suddenly succeed after dozens of previous attempts had failed?

Re: Stuck uploads: Error reported by file upload server: can't open file
Once again, the upload eventually succeeded, but like rickjb , it took a long time.. Status is valid, but I don't monitor that machine very closely, so I don't know if the messages were the same as rickjb's.
Cheers
