Yup still an ongoing issue I see. Guess Ill pick a purpose when i get home and see if that gets me work.

I blocked the bad server but it still tries and has to timeout. So it's just a huge pain until someone fixes it.
Might be time to try some boinc gpu tasks over the weekend.

It is break time, so the students aren't necessarily around to fix it. Wonder if it's not so simple as rebooting the server.

Sorry guys.  It has been working for me.  The owner of the server has said they have had some serious issues and they are trying to resolve it.  Picking a cause, pausing and restarting has also resolved it for other people.  The fact that so many servers are offline and that this took as many days for an answer to come forward is really frustrating for all of us.
 

Re: WU's Not Being Assigned by 171.67.108.102/171.67.108.105

Hello everyone,
I apologize for the late response. 171.67.108.105 is my WS, which has been given assignemnts by the WS even though it has no assignable jobs. We are currently trying to fix the problem with the AS where it keeps sending jobs to my WS. In the meanwhile, I have reduced the priority of my WS so that it doesn't assign jobs as frequently(it is currently 1/10 of the original value). 

I am terribly sorry for all the problems that this issue is causing everyone. We appreciate all of your support and hope this doesn't turn you away from F@H. Again, I am sorry for the problem, and we are trying to fix it. 
Best,
Muneeb

This is the only communication from the Pande group.  There has been complete silence in regards to this issue otherwise.  A lot of people have moved their rigs to grid for the time being as they are angry with the attitude and lack of attention this issue has been given.  Notice how LATE he responded.   PS3Ed was pretty pissed, and he let them know it.  And of course no reaction from Pande Group.  It's like our processing power is being taken for granted :(

So Simple of a Fix Restore from a backup from 2 weeks ago.
And Stop using this Server as your WS. Time for Muneeb to get his own Workstation.

"personal preference" or what you want to target for helping to find the Cure.

Its Ok, In reality we probably arent folding for Stanford but running decryption algorithms for the NSA and CIA.
 
But No seriously, they need to FIX this before they lose dedicated folders.
I guess Schools out so no students are there to task out to fix stuff, they're probably themselves on Vacation or just sitting around drinking coffee staring at one another.

Thanks for the info Ranmacanada!
@ chrism, let's hope not, but I got a good LOL out of that thanks!  
Hope they get it fixed soon, but we know how that can go.............

It's a stupid system that assigns clients to a server with no tasks available.

The issue appears to be more with the Assignment Server sending clients to Muneeb's server when it shouldn't than with Muneeb's server itself.
 
 The "block that work server" workaround did help quite a bit, as the timeout from "can't connect to server" was a LOT shorter than the hours-long timeout from " assignment server sends you to a work server that has no work, but AS is gonna send you back there anyway".
 
 Anyone else get a laugh from the "I'm half an ed" comment later in the thread?
 
 

WS - WORK server, that the core Assignment server sends the client to even though the Work Server is reporting "I have no blocks available" and the assignment server should NOT be sending clients to it for work it doesn't have.
 
 
 
 

Well on my end it's <Stanford> at it again...............No work on server and can't upload completed work. I've restarted, paused, smacked my router, yelled at the dogs, ran naked through the neighborhood.............and nothing. Just watching 1 GPU fold, 1 sitting idle and a WU wasting away to nothingness...............

I think they have resolved this. Can you check again when time permits?

Checked again and did the same ritual as posted before. I brought the thread back to the top, didn't want to create another about basically the same situation................only months apart.
 

 

 
The logs are short since I have restarted the Folding client, but the WU in "send" has been there for hours and also started @ 110k slowly fading away. I changed everything over to finish, if it wasn't for being able to pick/ have the project for Parkinson's I would give up on folding and move  totally to crunching projects. Unfortunately crunching doesn't have this project offered.
 

Pffffffttttttttttt, I let the one finish that was running and shut folding down. The other is stilllllllll dissolving into nothingness...............2 hrs 12 mins later anddddddd: 
 

Cool GTX
Yes, mine are struggling to get new work even after what I said in earlier post today
 
Stanford is letting us down Again  as usual
 
 

Fixed it
