Server problems at the moment

Post by UBT - PennyQ »

They've had a hard disk failure so nothing will upload or download at the moment.  There's stuff about it on their forum http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forum ... read=10703  
Means my Boinc Manager is thrashing a bit until it gets the hint for each WU!

Re: Update  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stats have been imported correctly now and all data is up to date.

Over the next couple days BOINC will likely send out 4th copy of workunits due to workunits that timed out during the outage. Trying to prevent this behavior would be tricky and the likelyhood of introducing a new problem would be high enough that the risk is not worth it. As a result we are going to just have to let the 4th copy go out. This behavior will be largerly limited to the next 24 hours.

We have extended the grace period for how long you are sure to get credit for work returned after the deadline. Anybody returning late work over the next few days will be able to get credit for the work they have done.

Thank you all for your patience and we apprecate your commitment to the science behind World Community Grid.
