Brief project down-time TODAY

Submitted on 21 Oct 2016 8:21:15 UTC

Hi,

Due to an urgent security update we need to shut down the project today. The down-time shouldn't last longer than an hour so you shouldn't notice any significant impact on your crunching efforts. We're going to start as soon as we're ready and we'll post here when we're done.

Thanks,
Oliver

            Same problem. Transfers tab is saying 6 hour backoff. Want to shut down the computer long before that.

                  Seems to me that this is pretty standard for faults, either during the weekend/holiday or just prior, when there is no one to deal with said problem.. Murphy has struck once again:-(

                      I think we might have clearance on this - five machines have all just uploaded and reported.

                      Kudos to whoever stayed late and fixed it.

                                We did of course check the upload servers after their reboot and they worked just fine. They might have been overloaded at first or your clients might have went into their exponential back-off. Let us know if you still got stuck uploads...
