Seti is down again

[Urs Echternacht]

Wish we could help them in their fight

And again an unplanned server outage of SETI@home.. 

1 1/2 hours 'submerged' traffic graph.

Cricket show current:
DL: 153.72 kbits/sec
UL: 591.02 kbits/sec

Much less than if we would have the weekly server maintenance.

So either the A/C went out again in the "closet" or something severed both connections.

[arkayn]

And we're back.

May be back up but I'm still struggling to get work units - keeps backing off on both pc's

Projects are down due to a database machine crash.
The machine that serves the BOINC database crashed this afternoon (Saturday). Until this is fixed we cannot send out work.

Meeeeeeouch.  I hope it's something that can be patched up with a few spare parts and not a total meltdown.

Wishing Eric and crew the best of luck in getting it sorted.

At least Boinc can now seem to handle more work. Have had a 7 day setting for months and have had no communication problems with Boinc. Have enough work till Tuesday and beyond.

I always get amused with the weekend outages.  How do these dang machines know that they are unattended. 

BTW Seti@home is always looking for inexpensive(reads FREE) server hardware.  So if you know someone that is getting rid of their newish server hardware give the kind folks at S@H a look

Just a reminder, SETI will be down again this evening for maintenance. Not sure how long they are planning to be down.

Just a reminder, SETI will be down again this evening for maintenance. Not sure how long they are planning to be down.

And remember that's (from the news item) Thursday evening California time - should be well after midnight UTC.

[perryjay]

It has been posted on SETI main page that the times will be from 1800- 2200 California time. That works out to 0100-0500 UTC I believe.

And they actually got it back up by 2000 PDT. I have my fingers crossed that the mission is complete rather than needing to be rerun later.

They were talking about  getting the new higher bandwidth line run up on the hill. I hope this is work on getting it installed and ready to go.

Seti down again, it's Friday so maybe they will get it fixed.
