Hi!

I searched the technical forum of SETI for upload/download problems.
And, there seems to be a problem with optimized apps.
I found this method, that worked great and so I got 20 new WUs.

Well good news it worked for you, but i recommend caution... while trying that one i  managed to get a 100 +  ghosts to add to the previous 250 ones ;)

so all in all 350 ghosts among 20 hosts... i detached and will crunch only abc...

Bluesilvergreen:
@ Crunch3r: Yes, that's right. I also got ghost WUs. But the first 20 WUs downloaded seemed to be normal WUs, so 20 downloaded and 20 in the account list for my host.

Now I also got around 40 ghost WUs, but I have 40 in my cache on my host that are ready for crunching.

Don't know what happens with these ghost WUs...


So, be careful with this method.

Hi all

Does anyone know why the optimized apps have this communication problem ?

Simon:
Right now, we don't really know, but we have some observations and educated guesses.

First off, it's not the optimized apps that are the problem. It's the way BOINC uses the anonymous platform mechanism (which is what app_info.xml controls).

All transfers are 100% handled by BOINC, not the science app itself.

That said, it seems that following a recent server code change the platform mechanism is broken. So until that's resolved, all we can do is wait and use the workaround.

HTH,
Simon.
