I understand the difficulties in running this system but for three days i have been trying to upload my results, this is the third time this has happened in as many months and i cant seem to bring my average score up because of it.

I do understand, but how hard would it be for the system to recognise the time completed on wu's and idel time spent waiting and work out a fairer score.

This is silly i know but if the lessons of classic seti taught us anything it is that users get frustrated and simply quit the program after long down times.

btw why dosent the new boinc system have backup servers like classic seti.

good luck and i appreciate all your efforts.

I think, mainly because they still work for Classic.

And than there is the validation problem, Classic doesn't bother what stuff comes back, and if it's valid and usable, but Boinc does. So it's a bit more difficult to keep track of it I suppose. But AFAIK Einstein uses different servers, so it's not impossible.

I really wait for the shutdown of Classic, and the then available hardware, although I do not know for sure whether their old stuff will be that much useful.

For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki

If I read the Technical News properly, it is one of volume. I have a directory of digital images from my Canon Digital Rebel. When, I made the mistake of adding them all to one subdirectory, and the number of files got to be large (~100 or so), just accessing the directory took a long time on an AMD 2400+ running XP. Now make this 100,000+ and default ways of dealing with the access will be really slow.

They need to develop some way of caching the data without using the system to provide data more than once. Languages such a perl can create a file and then parse the data and do the deletes. Boinc is so large that normal processing techniques are insufficient.
