The status of SETI@home on the BOINCstats site has been offline or several days yet I can download, upload and report work units with no problems.

The SETI website is fully functional and the Cricket Graphs show full bandwidth use and the server status page shows all servers running except a couple of the splitters.

Is there a problem with BOINCstats or is it with SETI?

If SETI@Home is not exporting it's stats, then BOINCstats can't track it. SETI may have been having problems or something else may have prevented getting the stats from SETI.

In any case, it's usually not a bad idea to wait at least 2-3 days to see if your stats get sent from the projects (like S@H) before complaining about it here...

Mark

I wasn't complaining. Only asking if anyone knew what the story was.

My SETI stats have been updating fine all the time that BOINCstats says the project is down. And it has been 'several' days now that SETI status is listed as offline.

Black Beard

Evidently Willy must have figured it out or SETI fixed their problem because SETI@home now shows as online.

Black Beard

Well, SETI is showing as offline again. Still some kind of problem I guess.

The SETI scheduler is just very slow. Because there are many projects my online checker only waits 15 seconds for a response from the project. If I do not put a limit on it the checker doesn't finish in time for its next run.

I upped the wait time to 20 seconds.

SETI has a lot of problems with bandwidth (and speed) lately, I also have problems downloading their XML files. Takes hours sometimes.

Thanks for the update Willy. It's not a big deal. Like I said, my stats still seem to be updating fine.


Thanks again for the info.
