The Red Library DLV Project

Got a UBT team on there, takes up hardly any resources at all, all it really needs is a always on connection, just leave it running in the background or manually start & stop it, I just leave it running.

So someone come and join me don't want to be a loner here all on my own

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2006 11:18 pm**

You were looking lonely so I'm there to keep you company now!

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2006 7:21 am**

Jumped 2 places already, the project is still young

Posted: **Sun Apr 23, 2006 12:17 am**

You were both looking lonely so I've come onboard too :)

well done that man, anymore to come and join us, it works perfectly with BOINC running and doesn't slow it down

Posted: **Sun Apr 23, 2006 8:45 am**

You joined the right team? There's still only two of us showing!

Registered but was then too tired to remember to join the team too!

Well it seemed quiet so I joined as well.

Found a few problem links whilst out for lunch as well.

We seem to be 19th at present. Anyone else want to sign up? We could get up to the top fairlt quickly if a few more joined.

Posted: **Tue Apr 25, 2006 4:04 pm**

Well, I just joined up, downloaded the s/w and ran it and it froze my machine completely. Had to reboot. Not trying that one again.

Sorry to hear that - strange that happened though, works perfectly here.

Posted: **Tue Apr 25, 2006 5:39 pm**

Especially seen as though it uses a very small amount of resources

Posted: **Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:06 am**

We've gone up 2 places today (now 17th). The team above us are going like a bat out of hell and at present, without more crunchers we'll never catch them.

The team above that are stagnating. Hardly any recent credits. Although they've almost twice our points we CAN take them. More volunterrs please!!!

And who gave him permission to overtake me

:roll:

did I miss that meeting

Posted: **Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:01 am**

Oops! :oops:

I thought as I had 50% of the crunching power (I've got 3 boxes running on this one) I'd be quorate by myself. Forgot you as the founder of the group there should have had the casting vote.

Promise I won't overtake you again! :roll:

RodEllery wrote:I thought as I had 50% of the crunching power

Well you did have, but I've got another machine on the case now so it's only 43%, but still a majority!

By the way, Team MacOS X aren't too far ahead of us, and two of them haven't generated any results yet today, so we should be able to overtake them in a week or so at curent rates :D and by then we'll have probably overtaken Info Sharkz too, who only have one member!

Posted: **Sun Apr 30, 2006 2:59 pm**

Even though there's only 4 of us, we've climbed another place to 16th!

http://www.readyresponse.org/index.php? ... uted&opt=9

Posted: **Tue May 02, 2006 3:12 pm**

Now 15th. :blob6:

But we need to increase our score by 50% to catch the next one! More crunchers required!

Another plea for people to join our Team on this project, either keep it running 24/7 if you have a always on connection, or just load it up & let it run when your on the Net.

Runs alongside BOINC fine with no issues, uses a small amount of CPU resources so your timings on BOINC won't be affected

PLEASE!

Team MacOS X have got another computer running the prog and are catching up with us!

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2006 9:11 am**

We're back down in 16th place again :(

Team MacOS X have 9 active computers running it and we only have 8!

It's not a matter of how quick the machine is, it's down to how many machines you have running it.

Please everyone, stick it on any spare machines you have - it shouldn't affect anything else

Posted: **Mon May 08, 2006 8:24 pm**

I made a mistake in the password field but for some reason it is not possible to delete the characters - any suggestions to what I can I do

Posted: **Mon May 08, 2006 8:25 pm**

Just tried it here works fine removing the password, prob best to uninstall and install again

Posted: **Mon May 08, 2006 8:31 pm**

Tried uninstalling and re-installing but it just put up my previous username and password so login fails automatically and it still won't let me alter the password.

Posted: **Mon May 08, 2006 8:32 pm**

I would re-register under a different name. Doesn't really matter what name you use just so long as you join the team PLEASE!

edit - Dave is too fast for me to reply in time with the wrong answer!

Looks like we might regain 15th place soon as Xtremesystems appear to have dropped the ball and there's only 1 user contributing any worthwhile credits!

Anyone and all welcome to join us...

Try posting in there forums see if they have a answer for you on what to do

Posted: **Tue May 09, 2006 7:14 pm**

Having finally managed to solve the password problem I now find that it will only verify 5 links every 10 minutes. I've attempted to change it to 10 links every 5 minutes (which appears to be the maximum it allows) but it doesn't accept the new settings. Help

they have a new version of Windows client for it, well same version nearly just a bug fix, maybe try that? or post for help over there in the forum?

Scratch the new client thing it is not new at all I looked at the dates of it wrong

Welcome to the team!

Tried uninstalling and re-installing but it just put up my previous username and password so login fails automatically and it still won't let me alter the password. Crying or Very sad

I haven't seen a post for this but there is a lost password option here..

I'm assuming you have all ready tried it but just in case!

I had that when I first loaded it up. All I had to do was Stop the client then restart it and it picked up the new settings.

Posted: **Tue May 16, 2006 11:47 pm**

Still only 5 of us on this project, time for some new users to get the client up & running this one is just as easy as DIMES to run if not easier

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 7:25 am**

Should hit 14th later today but that'll be about it as all the other users above us are going at a higher rate mainly 'cos these more of them.

Now, if we had more people on we could kick some butt! Please, get on over - it doesn't hurt!

Signed up at 17.00 ready to join you guys,
but I'm still waiting for the email with my password.

I sent a request for support but still no reply.
How long does take for them to get back to you.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 10:24 pm**

Dunno never needed support but as its a really small team you may just have to wait slightly longer than expected

Yes tried and reset but still no email with password.

14th place! :D

Be about another year before we catch up with anyone else :shock:

I appear to have a conflict between the DLV client and my latest CPDN BBC CCE WU - when I started the DLV client this morning the following occurred to the CPDN WU

19/05/2006 09:48:03|climateprediction.net|Result hadcm3lbm_bby8_05297971_0 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file

And yes I do have a CPDN BBC CCE WU (the 'm' identifies it as such - ordinary BBC CCE WU's have a 'n').

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2006 10:52 am**

Thats nothing to do with anything else running, some WU's glitch out like that it is quite normal on BOINC for it to happen, if it was a problem with this program it would happen continuosuly on BOINC, its a problem that pops its head up every so often. Usually down to some kind of computer problem

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2006 8:12 pm**

UBT - Halifax--lad is the first in the team to find and confirm the first batch of duff links with a block of 21 404's.

At last! Thought we were going to be the only high team without any!.

http://www.readyresponse.org/index.php? ... =12&tid=24

So now we've got our foot in the door, so to speak, a few more members please to raise our profile from mid-table!

Posted: **Tue May 30, 2006 9:30 am**

That certainly took some time to get some links verified, Ha you lot need to get some now

Posted: **Sat Jun 03, 2006 10:22 am**

NOW WHAT! (beat you to it!)

This site seems to have stuck now. Have been looking at the stats and realised that neither us nor MacOS had increased over the last few days (probably everyone else as well but I wasn't looking at them). Shows us with 705481 credits, a quick fiddle with the calculator and we should have 811201.

UBT - FrancisMcDermott catches another 2 404's

Wonder when they're gonna sort out the running totals?

Posted: **Wed Jun 21, 2006 9:22 pm**

There working on it

Posted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:32 am**

The main results and 404s are starting to trickle in ...

Posted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:22 am**

They've been working on getting the totals right it since early June!

Free-DC now show correct stats for this project.

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/allteams.php?proj=red

Also shows we did a sneaky overtake of Team MacOS X - so we're in 13th place! Ready-responce seem to have switched off so there's a good chance we'll overtake them in a few days.

At the moment there's only 3 of us contributing so if any one wants to join us (uses very little computing power) please do so!

http://www.readyresponse.org/index.php? ... =12&tid=24

Download the client and join the team!

Posted: **Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:21 am**

Darn! They noticed! Although there's only 2 contributing in 'Team MacOS X' they now have DOUBLE the amount of computers our 3 contributers are using, they're RAC is double ours over the last 3 days so they're on a spurt and catching up rapidly!

We only need a couple of extra people to keep them at bay. The project uses minimal bandwidth (verify's 10 web links over 5 minutes - that's it - no downloads or any other resources required).

Posted: **Sat Aug 26, 2006 9:17 pm**

Come on people I'm sure some of you lurkers running BOINC can also run this project only needs a 24/7 net connection to run all the time or enable it when your on the net, takes up little CPU resources so BOINC will run fine too.

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2006 11:22 am**

I signed up for this yesterday, data is being exchanged but my stats have not moved off zero, does it take a while for credit to be granted or should I try downloading the project again?

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2006 11:56 am**

Just keep it going sometimes the server is slow at keeping up but it all gets on the stats eventually.

Don't forget to make sure you are doing the maximum amount of work available 10 links every 5 mins

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2006 12:12 pm**

See

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats. ... BOINC+Team

For better stats

But they should show something by now!

Right click the 'taskbar' icon and select 'show client'. Does it show 'XXXX links validated'?

Posted: **Tue Aug 29, 2006 9:12 am**

Thanks, I will check it tonight, it is contacting their server OK every 5 mins and downloading/validating links but still no stats. Maybe Norton interferes with it as it took me ages to get Dimes to work even then only on UDP not the other thing it measures (Yeah I am not over computer literate)

:oops:

Posted: **Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:11 pm**

It shows this
[20:56] Client started

[20:56] Connecting to Red Library server...
[20:56] Attempting to download link data...

[20:56] Data successfully retrieved - Verifying...
[21:01] Validating next set of links...

[21:01] Connecting to Red Library server...
[21:01] Attempting to download link data...

etc etc and still no stats, tried downloading again and no difference, any suggestions how I can get this working?

Posted: **Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:18 pm**

It probally is working so slow at the stats

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2006 8:10 pm**

Nah - that's not right! Should be validating - not verifying! It seems that the data you're getting isn't right for some reason. Should get 'validating XXXX address' 10 times, a pause then validating the next set of 10 links. Not at home PC to check that's right but I think so.

Posted: **Sun Sep 03, 2006 10:27 am**

Yes you are right it is not correct. Have e-mailed support, suggested download again, did but it did not work, then suggested turn off firewall, did not work either. Maybe just will not work for me

Yea, they appeared almost immediately.

Sooo .... With you wrecking things above me in the charts there won't be too much for me to mess up down at my end. Between the two of us, we should be able to bring this project crashing down on it's knees in no time at all.

Pigs are totally random. You get one of the six as a logo when it generates the graphic.

Supposed to be star trek pigs!

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:21 pm**

It looks as if the stats are beginning to trickle through again guys. :P

Interestingly enough, while I was waiting for my first results to show, I was fooling aroung with the names of my agents and the changes were reflected on the stats almost immediately. Some sort of communication was apparently there with the servers but not the credits.

I'm presuming that my paltry credit total is not a reflection of four days work on three machines so I'm hoping that the rest of the credits will come flooding in very soon. :roll:

At least we can stop discussing the fascinating subject of our pigs wardrobes now.

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:54 pm**

You can't at the moment it needs to be linked to your other sig profile and only Dazza can do that at the moment, until he finishes off the interface fully. It can be done manually if you ask Dazza nicely to link them, then you will have it that blue colour or whatever it is your main sig is

Team MacOS X have dropped the ball!

They've only got 1 user in the team producing credits. The 2 teams above them have also stopped. We've been stuck at position 16 for months, so now we can sneak past due to sheer perseverance!

Noticed that my agent stopped today and nothing can restart it. I closed it down, opened it again and now the icon has completely dissapeared from my taskbar.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:58 pm**

I think the servers went offline 'til about 1930. Should be okay now.

Icon disappearing = too late! I broke it for that reason a few weeks ago!

The only way I could get it back was too uninstall! I think it decides to run as a service and so hides itself somewhere - never could find out where though!

Something wierd going on here.

SETI.Germany just overtook us.

'Good for them' I thought - so I had a look at their stats. They've validated 2706764 links and ZERO 404's. Plus it seems they're running farms as well to get so many links done in so short a time - there are only 7 members in the team. 'Fornax' has done 900 at the last update which, if I worked out this right, is 9 PC's running. Now I know this is possible, but it's the nil 404's and the very rapid climb that's ringing alarm bells here.

Posted: **Tue Oct 17, 2006 8:10 am**

404's have always taken a long time to be validated

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2006 10:43 pm**

Currently on the Red Library site.

As I am sure you have noticed, our server has been inaccessible recently. This is due to a hardware failure on our server, and we have had to work with the hosting company to a)diagnose the problem, and b) setup a new server.
Our hosting company have now confirmed the hardware issue, and we have been issued a new dedicated server. This server is in the process of being setup - and we are aiming to have it up asap. We thank you for your patience during this time.

http://www2.readyresponse.org/

Just thinking about reinstalling this and saw the message. Bit weird as there are still results coming in here. Maybe just old results in the backups.

Posted: **Thu Feb 15, 2007 2:43 pm**

Anyone know what the new URL is for Red Library DLV Client?

I've been having a look around the disc and I found the original URL and program but I keep getting URL not found!

Posted: **Thu Feb 15, 2007 2:53 pm**

Never heard of it before, but did a google search and all the links I found were dead or broken.
