It seems that for a 2.5MB taking 20 minutes do download is a little odd.
It downloads at 138KBps for 2% Stops and waits then another 2%.
What is going on? as this has been going on all year now.
Thanks

This has happened a few times over the past few days and is not a normal thing for the year or for the servers. If this has been happening to you all year it may be on your end. Tasks take about 3 minutes at most to normally download for me and about 8-10 minutes to upload at most. Only the past few days since the ADRIA OPEN and CLOSED tasks were on high failure rate did the servers start to stutter for up and downloads. In the case where they do that stutter, they need to time out and restart. None have been slow and stuttering the way you describe moving 2% at a time or not needing a timeout to restart.

It seems that for a 2.5MB taking 20 minutes do download is a little odd. It downloads at 138KBps for 2% Stops and waits then another 2%.

This pausing while downloading has also been happening here for a long long time. I have to start BOINC from the command line to manage this phenomenon:

boinc.exe" --pers_retry_delay_max 60

Also in the cc_config I have to have the line:

<http_transfer_timeout>60</http_transfer_timeout>

Only then will downloads complete in around 10 minutes. This "stuttering" happens with no other projects and never happens with any other downloads of any kind. The ever increasing in size uploads are also slow but do not "stutter". The UL slowness is due to low bandwidth caused by the predatory monopoly ISP that's the only choice in this area (centurylink).

Predatory monopolies run by the tax avoiding billionaire bunch that control them, the corrupt politicians that they own and the sheeple via the media. Gotta love it. Where's a new Teddy Roosevelt when you need him? Oh yeah, Bernie got blindsided (by the above)...

The whole DL/UL slowness is kind of frustrating as for instance I've had many WUs in the last day complete in under 24 hours yet by the time the DL/UL time is added in they miss the 1 day bonus deadline.

Oups,
got 2 in 1 WU ?

I understand this but what I do not understand is when at download stops a new task starts and even delay the first one even longer and now a 3rd starting to download as yet the first is still not completed.
It is a great Project to run as to Folding@Home but is starting to be a real frustrating Project to run.
Either we no projects or we get projects that download but you only give us half the download and are at a stand still.

HOW TO:
- Opt out of Beta Tests
- Ask for Help

Invalid command --pers_retry_delay_max 60

As stated it's command line BOINC. For Windows (depending on your BOINC location):

"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe" --pers_retry_delay_max 60

Invalid command --pers_retry_delay_max 60

As stated it's command line BOINC. For Windows (depending on your BOINC location):

"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe" --pers_retry_delay_max 60

What is this command doing? --pers_retry_delay_max 60

No Biggie and I might be dropping this project because I spend more time downloading then running tasks. It is causing WCG CPU issues with starting and stopping over and over because I cannot keep the this project running.

boinc.exe --pers_retry_delay_max 60

D:\Program Files\BOINC>boinc.exe --pers_retry_delay_max 60
29-Oct-2016 08:08:49 Another instance of BOINC is running.
GLE: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
(0xb7)

Have to exit and start over. the command does not work a shortcut.
So this means I would be running without a client tool.
No Client Interface no point for me, But thanks anyway
I cannot take it out of " Suspending computation - user request
" the client never comes up and the command never ends

Thanks for tying to help me out but it seem to still have download issues and I cannot manage any other BOINC projects in this mode nor can I make changes and so on without a Client Interface. If I had a system that ONLY ran this Project then maybe it would be worth looking more in to the Command Line way of Running BOINC but that for me is not an easy task to learn.

I did somewhat get this to all work and even have the BOINC Manager run but the downloads still stop and start so even this trick is not working.


Maybe GPUGrid will re-review the download issues or maybe that is how they want it I do not know as they are not saying.

Perhaps this download issue will be less frustrating when the Pascal app will be assigned to the long queue also, as the long tasks take 4-8-12 hours to finish. This is probably long enough to complete the download of the next task, even if it gets halted a couple of times.
Besides, the very short tasks we have now result in frequent requests to the scheduler, apparently causing network traffic issues for some users (especially those who have otherwise substandard internet connection, and/or located geographically far from Barcelona)

The tasks were even shorter when they errored out immediately ;-)

I've seen fewer stalled downloads since we got the Pascal app running.

Well I think it would be even longer as it will not download a new task until the old task is completed and uploaded from what I have been watching the few days. Because the File Size are Larger than the Short Runs I see it being even worse.
The bad part is when it stop other projects from running and playing the Waiting to run game.
I do prefer the long tasks over the short one, I only ran the Short for this Beta Testing on the Pascal Cards.

As stated it's command line BOINC. For Windows (depending on your BOINC location):

"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe" --pers_retry_delay_max 60

What is this command doing? --pers_retry_delay_max 60

It's telling the client to only back off a maximum of 60 seconds on the stalled DL, otherwise sometimes it will not retry for hours. Going less than 60 seconds gave me erratic results.

As far as the GUI, you can make a shortcut to start the commandline client, THEN start the GUI. Better yet use BoincTasks and you'll really be able to see and control your clients.

Cool,

It gave my MacAfee erratic results as well.

Yes, but those hosts got their daily quota reduced, and it (hopefully) made the BOINC manager to try less often.

I've seen fewer stalled downloads since we got the Pascal app running.

Me too, and the error rate on the server status page is also shows significantly more green (=lower, below 25%) numbers.

As I said in the other thread we are trying to look into the downloading problem. Once I have some news I'll update you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Stefan thank you for looking into this.
It has been 30 days now and still no change.

What is the situation with the downloads? Please keep reporting if you have problems and better if you can quantify them.

We have contacted the network admin but they find no issues, so we need to be able to show it.
