Haven't paid enough attention to know if any of my tasks are extremes. My Ryzen7 is only picking up the odd resend (2 tasks on their third run currently crunching.)

I'm sorry to trouble you, Mike:
The situation with downloading units is dire.. Would you please care to explain what the problem is, since I haven't seen a "transient HTTP error" since 13 September and you copied that line from your Sunday 11 September Report (post 676290), when downloading any task was (indeed) still dire. |

I'll take a guess at the "dire" comment.
First, I am only getting resends and not "fresh" new ARP WUs, as their is an issue with some part of the transitioner/validator bit. Second, fewer WUs were completed this week than the week before. It is dire compared to the 10k plus we used to chew through in a day. We are all looking forward to the point when we are making good progress on ARP ! |

I have just spent over an hour clicking resend in order to get 8 ARP units to download. If I didn't, I would get no downloads of any variety because they were pending.
This has been a continuous situation and it eats into deadlines and could push units over their deadline without even starting. I suspect this could be the reason that the average reporting time for all ARP units is over 10 days - even extremes. This is not a problem with OPN1 or MCM1 probably due to them having much smaller downloads. ARP1 downloads are split into about 8 modules and can be 100 MB in total. One of the 8 is 47.1 MB on its own. I don't know what is causing the problem but I suspect that the units are being released in batches and many people are trying to download them at the same time with insufficient bandwidth at Krembil. Perhaps the techs could enlighten us? Mike |

Since last night I have been getting enough tasks to keep 8 cores busy. All except two of my last 14 are _0 or _1, so things are marginally better at least in the short term. Still needing to encourage downloads by clicking "Retry Now" however.

To automate retries I use Adri's wcgresults from
----------------------------------------https://sourceforge.net/projects/wcgtools/files/ On Linux use command crontab -e to create a timer to run every 15 minutes with option -x. Paul.

To automate retries I use Adri's wcgresults from Thanks for that. Probably won't use it with my other project CPDN however as when they have problems with servers, it tends to be completely dead till fixed and there is a danger of going up the maximum number of retrys allowed.https://sourceforge.net/projects/wcgtools/files/ On Linux use command crontab -e to create a timer to run every 15 minutes with option -x.

I've written a quick-and-dirty Perl script to babysit my crunchers. It's been running for a day now and has kept the work units flowing beautifully. I run it inside a terminal window (or a tmux session).

I have modified my copy of wcgresults to have an exclude list for other projects.
----------------------------------------Also added mesages & commented out some to minimise noise. I will post details to Adri's announcement thread later. Paul.
