Had one file like that yesterday, could not get it to upload even with many manual retries while all other uploads went through on the first try. Well, today nothing more is uploading or downloading.

WCG your pissing me off.
46 files. 3 downloads 43 uploads stuck.
Over the last 24hrs I have manually tried to make things move with limited success.
Why can't you guys get your hardware in order? I thought Krembel was going to be keeping you moving like IBM did. Seems the opposite.

It gets very frustrating crunching for this project.

So often down and each time there is a change.
It doesn't seem seriously handled.

Stopped for new tasks , too much struggling to upload crunched files.

Krembil is ruining a previously good and valuable project. Since it was taken over from IBM, it's going only into one direction: downwards
I don't think Krembil has the people capable of successfully running WCG, just too bad

The real ruin was when IBM [bean-counters?] seemed to decide that philanthropic projects had a negative effect on the bottom line. It was highly unlikely that anyone else would have the resources (financial, staffing, or infrastructure-wise) to take on the whole WCG load :-(

I suspect that if the current WCG had access to more [and more reliable!] data centre resources (bandwidth and hardware) things would be a lot better -- when the data centre doesn't seem to be having problems, the system seems to run fairly well when it doesn't have huge numbers of OPNG or ARP1 tasks flying around (a problem that can be solved by reduced work creation!), but (of course) no-one remembers periods of relative success :-)

I'd rather have a WCG that has problems on occasion than have no WCG at all - YMMV :-)
