Does anyone get this a lot? I do! --- Warning: long log included

This seems like A LOT of wasted time. Could there be a problem at my end, or is this just unlucky, or is this Stanford's fault? Log from end of WU to beginning of next WU is below. I would also like to say that the WU that starts at the end of this log finished and it is now doing the same thing, but still has not successfully started working on a new WU.

==========================================================

I'm stumped as to why this happens to me all the time.

Other errors I get are I/O errors sometimes, but usually its this, I think.

    Though i have not looked at your log properly, server 151 & 152 stop us from sending our finished WU's heaps of times. Some can be there for a several days before they finally get through.

    Frustrating to say the least.

    Those servers could have been down.
  • edited July 2004
    Yeah, 152 is one that goes down quite a bit. It corrects itself the vast majority of the times but it wastes unnecessary time when it could be crunching proteins. I hope in the next new version that it allows those computers that have a very good performance fraction to hold a protein in queue to avoid situations like this.
