a little help needed

[PcCI2iminal]

hello
i new on F@H ,i joined the Team 20 days ago and i`m running a QX6700 @ 3200mhz with 1 client per core ,3 works still running without any troubles and with the last work i got some errors

here is the log

what it seems to be?

[Chas_The_Man]

I have had that before. It eventualy went away for me though. I just started and stopped the client about 100 times before they accepted the units. I think its an issue on there end, not yours. Error 503 means they are busy normally.

[embeejay]

you should really switch to the smp client - your ppd will probably double or more if you do :)

[Chas_The_Man]

Yeah, well, I, Like countless others, try to download it and get a CRC error extracting it. But every time someone complains about it, 500 people who didnt get the CRC error say that it can't possibly be the fault of the file on Stanford's site. Well, I dunno, I get the error on my two machines. Its possible it is network or ISP related. Whatever the case, I cant run it as it won't install.

I asked, three days ago for someone to email it to me and see if that works but noone responded.

On another note, oner of my cores is getting 503's. OP: U R NOT ALONE!

[jimwah]

Hmm it's just having a problem getting at the servers, a quick look at the server status page here (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html) shows that at least some of the IP's it tryed are up & accepting units right now.

Try starting the offending client with the -send all argument added if you can, which should just attempt to send all stored units & then exit. Otherwise it will keep trying as it folds the next unit (which it's obviously downloaded ok).

Bear in mind if you consider going SMP, that it has big units, and therefore quite a long upload time (depending on your connection) I think Sparky mentioned they were ~20mb for WinSMP which is pretty painful on my 256k up speed, and completely saturates my bandwidth for almost 15mins sometimes. Linux SMP seems a lot less demanding in terms of uploads :shrug:

thx for all replys :)

good to know that issue is from the server :)
well i will try that stop/start

thx for that info

give me your email and i will send it to you

;)

[Chas_The_Man]

I have received the SMP file via email. I cant wait to get home and give it a go. Thanks for the offer.

I would have emailed it to myself but I dont like to communicate with my personal email at work if at all possible.

hehehe

i have tried many times to close/open the client and got the same Error 503



i quit those four consoles and now i`m in SMP

[embeejay]

nice :)

[Chas_The_Man]

I got SMP up now too. Although I have 4 units in the other FAH app. Ill do a couple with smp and then go back and finish them. One of these must be worth about twice what four of the others are worth??? Is that true? That would be like 2400 points or something.

[jimwah]

Check out any units labelled GRO-SMP here : http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html They are worth big points, mainly due to the big upload & possible instability as it's still early days for this client, and they have a relatively tight deadlines too. But nice ppd :)

PcCI2iminal what's the CPU utilisation like on the QX6700, does it hit 100% on all 4 threads OK?

[PcCI2iminal]

a nice boost on my points
yesterday->17900
today->19664


PcCI2iminal what's the CPU utilisation like on the QX6700, does it hit 100% on all 4 threads OK?

yup ,4 cores @ full load ;)

keep folding

[Chas_The_Man]

Looks like I will find out in about 2 more hours :-)
