	When the s@h client has troubles getting through to s@h when trying to upload the file to report completed workunits, is there an manual option that you could do to make it work? That file is rapidly growing and in my case that file has become nearly 60 Mbyte in size and i truly understand that there are troubles getting it to upload completely. Is there a way to do it or should i hope that i don't have crunched more than a week worth of WU's which can't be reported? Suggestions anyone even if it's bad news!

Kind regards Vyper Good question to ask...... I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday when I was getting nothing but HTTP internal server errors every time my rigs tried to report their stored up completed work. Thankfully, things settled down a bit and they finally all made it through. Don't know the size of the file, but I think the largest had about 3000 WUs to report. Yours must have a lot more than that. I too, was wondering if there was a way to get Boinc to report only X number of completed WUs at a time, or be able to split the file up into smaller subfiles to transfer successfully. I think the Boinc devs should consider adding an option..... <report_max_results>XXXXX</report_max_results> ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

Small batches would be better for the overall amount of TCP packets needed for resend etc. For now that machine has about 4800 Wu's to report and it's increasing fast :-/ Hope there is a way otherwise i need to babysit and watch the graphs so the network isn't congested to it's max and wait it out and hope :) Kind regards Vyper ____________ _________________________________________________________________________ Addicted to SETI crunching!

	It isn't client_state.xml that you're trying to upload. It's sched_request_.xml, so you have to check the size of this file. What error message do you get eventually? A time out? ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.*

	Boinc has behaved badly so the machine was set in an unresponsive state tonight so it hasn't been up until my colleague rebooted it at the office this afternoon (4 hours ago).. So i believe it's about 5400 wu's which need to be reported. First i need to get rid of all the WU which can't be downloaded in the queue so i'm aborting them.. Otherwise boinc can't work properly and starts to loose track of heartbeats to the clients putting the machine in a extreme unresponsive state when remotecontrolling it.

	/me crosses everything crossable. :D (Too late) (I am emailing this all to David) Thanks Jord..... As computers and GPUs get faster and can process more and more work, this may become even more of an issue. At least at Seti. I don't run other projects, so I am not sure how the size of their WUs compare. But Boinc may need to adjust so that situations like Vyper's can be handled more gracefully by the core client. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.
