Topic 194372

After a long time with frustrating old (and slow) computers I got a new box and installed BOINC/E@H on it. Now the strange situation is, that on all 32 h1-files I see a message "Download failed" in the properties (I use BOINC 6.6.31) whereas the 10 p2030-files arrived fine and the first ones will be finished in a few hours.

In the log file (Computer-ID 1967526)
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/sched_logs/2009-06-05_17/2009-06-05_17:12.txt
I do not see any helpful text.

2009-06-05 17:12:04.5746 [PID=28889] [locality] [HOST#1967526] has file h1_0782.05_S5R4

And in my local log file (sorry, the clock is not in sync) I do not see anything too

No error can bee seen.

Memory limit ... no, 16GB should be enough.
Disk limit ... no, 500GB should be enough.

So, any ideas?

Maybe a screenshot helps ...

The one task that got reported until now (129319282) shows this stderr output:

for what it's worth :-) (problems with app_info.xml?)

Looking closer at

Looking closer at stdoutdae.txt, I see this one:

Now the command ls -l shows me the correct size.

Is it possible, that boinc tries to start crunching during the download of the executable? This seems to be true for the gnu_0 file, but not for the gnu_0 file.

I think I can remember having read about something like this (sometimes BOINC failing to wait until download is complete).

One could try to download the files manually:

wget http://einstein.aei.mpg.de/download/einstein_S5R5_1.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu
wget http://einstein.aei.mpg.de/download/einstein_S5R5_1.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu_0
wget http://einstein.aei.mpg.de/download/einstein_S5R5_1.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu_1
wget http://einstein.aei.mpg.de/download/einstein_S5R5_1.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu_2
wget http://einstein.aei.mpg.de/download/einstein_S5R5_1.05_graphics_i686-pc-linux-gnu

sorry for the

Message 92995 in response to message 92994

sorry for the hijack..

looks like its my turn for the wrong size error

6/28/2009 8:59:49 PM Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
6/28/2009 8:59:49 PM Einstein@Home Temporarily failed download of h1_0814.05_S5R4: HTTP error
6/28/2009 8:59:50 PM Einstein@Home [error] File h1_0814.05_S5R4 has wrong size: expected 4262400, got 126069

time is eastern so 3:59pm GMT (if i did the math right)

im guessing it has to do with the server load right now after such a prolonged downtime. so for now im not worried.

seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.
