You put this under a BAM header message, but did not specify you were not using BAM, so it was implied.

The only service kept online is the forums. All others get shut down, and the way BOINC works it causes that error. Not the projects fault for how BOINC is programmed in the backend. Ignore the errors and be happen when/if we get new work.

Admin of this project has stated that he pretty well shuts all backend down, except the forums until he starts up a new set of units. Since it's so random when units might be released, maybe 2-3 times a year and only for a few days at a time and these units really do nothing, there is no reason to keep the backend going. The project once did real work many years ago, but has just become a sentimental hold for the owner, who's had some life changing events and does not monitor even the forums very often.

So I do not think any wish of getting BAM to sync up with the project, even if it has units to crunch for a couple of days, it may not have the settings configured to allow BAN to control it.

Arr yes, this project would probably port easily to ARM. It might also be a good NCI project. Too bad it's now just a project that sits idle most of the time and doesn't do the testing it once previously did.

I like this place. Every once in a while a new stash gets released into the wild and those of us who find it get some bounty. It's not a lot, but it's got it's bragging rights.

Currently this is a "fun" project and all work done on it does nothing. Captain Wormholio inserts work every now and then, but his life is busy with other things (family and such). We usually get work near September 19th (talk like a Pirate day) each year, plus maybe one or two times in between when time permits.

I am happy when there is work, but I also understand life can get in the way.

Please make sure to run the script to depreciate the RAC.

Thanks.

I have done successful work on the one machine I could not before.

Thanks for the fix.

OK, I have tried almost everything.

It seems it is hosts that have never crunched for the project before and were added after the last back end upgrade that are failing. A cookie of sorts has not been established with these new machines so they fail the download.

previously that was 15 minutes ...

In the old days when they were doing testing for other projects, yes.

Today this is just a fun nonsensical project, so he has it throttled just to let people have a little fun once in a while.

It seems that the new I7 2nd and 3rd Gen processors are having issues during download. This is the only project that is seeing it.

It seems odd that it's processor specific, but I do not claim to understand the backend processes of BOINC.
