WCG Problems?

[Anon_F]

Through BOINC >messages i get the message come up:
Deferring scheduler requests for 1 weeks, 0 days, 0 minutes and 0 seconds
Anyone know when the problems across the pond will be sorted?

They don't know how long as yet - keep an eye on this thread at WCG for the latest: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=10703

Boinc will extend the time it tries to connect to the servers further each time it fails - don't worry when they are back up and running every thing will update normally

Just gotta be patient mate, i'll update the sticky if i see anything.....

Time of year + blizzard + a few other problems including the BOINC Hosting company short on staff = BOINC down.....

Just heard on the bbc world service that heavy snow is forecast for a few parts of the USA

Reminds me of our very own BR ... British Rail.


So, BOINC only has one servers ...

The servers HD has gone down ...

Fascinating ... despite the use of the word "servers", notice the s on the end, the problem is a, that's singular, hard drive.


Hey! I'm just picking holes, OK ... ever heard of RAID arrays ... err, happy holidays folks.
