I like a server status as much as anyone, but I hope they focus on just getting things working for now and leave the server status project to a future intern

Nar53 - WCG is still in a testing phase, so tasks might be hard to get. They mention in their Aug 5 update (check the news section of the forum) that they might send out more test tasks on Monday if all goes well. So here is hoping we all see more tasks soon.

This whole project 'move' is an utter disgrace and a disaster! Presumably it was known well beforehand that this was coming up. Was any planning done?
There should have been a phased transition with work being gradually switched as resources became available. |

This whole project 'move' is an utter disgrace and a disaster! Presumably it was known well beforehand that this was coming up. Was any planning done? Well, we are three weeks away from the one year anniversary of the move being announced. From early Sep '21 to Feb.24th, '22, there would have been 5 months to plan ahead before anything got actually moved.There should have been a phased transition with work being gradually switched as resources became available. And what I can not understand why those (mostly rather stupid) web site changes were implemented when that move was already planned.With the lingering issue that the stats on the WCG site are not being updated, it seems this just added to the problems on the road ahead... :( Ralf  |

We've been in a test mode for a couple of weeks, and it seems like the capacity problems have been addressed (if you wanted WUs, you had to manually retry your transfers until sometime last night). I'd say we're mighty close to launch. Disclaimer: I'm a cruncher, not WCG staff.
In any case, the work units are valid, and results are showing up on outside stats sites, but (unless it's been resolved) there are still issues with stats on the WCG site proper. |

Happy days are here again. All projects' tasks download without interruptions.

it takes longer to download work units than it takes the crunch them. the server is way too quick to timeout a transfer and set pushback.
