It only seem to effect ABP

It only seem to effect ABP uploads. Downloads are fine. S5GCE's get through just fine (different server I believe). Work for other projects seems to be be fine as well, so I presume its not a DNS issue i'm seeing. It still seems to be happening since my first post.

The uploads usually squirt through their 3 or 4k and then don't get Ack'ed and eventually give up. This looks like the server is being overwhelmed by lots of traffic and just can't keep up.

Somebody needs to enable

Somebody needs to enable (and possibly , too) in cc_config.xml, fillet out some error messages, and post them (just the error messages, not the whole log) here for Bernd to see.

If uploads even start, then it's not a DNS issue - that would be 'Can't resolve host name' or similar, as the Mac users were getting with v6.10.44

(No sign of an error here, but I'm not doing much Einstein at the moment: the tasks I can see are all S5GCE).

I tried, but either I did it wrong, or I have too old a version of BOINCmgr (6.10.45).

I added this to the section of my cc_config.xml

1
    	1
    	1


but I doubt it will do anything in my case, as my message log on restarting BOINCmgr said:

5/5/2010 7:17:30 AM    Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: 
5/5/2010 7:17:30 AM    Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: 
5/5/2010 7:17:30 AM    Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: 


Short of upgrading my BOINC, is there something I did wrong?
Speaking of upgrading BOINC, is there a recent version you could recommend to someone who likes to run a heavily skewed work share? I have a new Windows 7 laptop I'd be happy to experiment on.

Assuming your Core Client

Message 97879 in response to message 97878

Assuming your Core Client matches the Manager you're trying to manage it with, that version should have no problem with the tags... ;-)

Client configuration

You did put them into the section, didn't you, not the section?

They work even with my 5.10.45. (I think you made a typo ;-)

The log was from BoincView (I use it to see what the "farm" is up to).

Urm.. I put them in the section, so that was the problem, thanks.

quite right.

Anyway, I put the tags the right place, restarted BOINCmgr, and forced one upload retry. This is the section copied from near the end of stdoutae.txt that closely mimics what I see in the BOINCmgr messages tab, but allows me to copy and paste.

I think this is probably typical of a single upload failure.

I've had one more upload retry attempt and failure while typing this, it looks the same to me, but I'll put in what seems the key subsection:
