    Yup, SM4 has one in queue. Looks like .119 is down.

    Yes, but WUs are not getting through from my boxes either. I think I will give folding a rest, and see if the folding admins can fix whatever their load balancing\reception of finished WU problem is, as it is not isolated to my area, and I can traceroute but have been unable to connect reliably to servers that show as up on folding's end for about 10 days now, with intermittent but too frequent problems before.

    They have a turnin problem-- a big one. I have had to retry turnins 10X to get them turned in in some cases, with time between for things to settle, and can only turnin relaibly when server stats show less than 100 total connects and the receiving server has less than 20 connects, while Vijay says the servers and net can handle hundreds of connects simultaneously. Either something is bogged in their network, or servers are too busy ending to receive on 40-50 manual connect tries in last week. At this point I can neither return WUs with broadband nor on dialup and have no time to baby sit folding to the degree it now needs to be babysat to turn things in.

    What is the point of doing processing if they cannot get the results back, reliably??? Traceroutes when I try to send average .4 seconds on Dialup, 17-20 hops, and on boardband 15 hops and 100+ milliseconds of accumulated latency on average end to end to receiving server. Internet networking is failling over for the connect while waiting for servers on their end to pick up and receive workunits. This is now true for Linux and Windows clients, both stable and pre, from here in Punta Gorda, and friends in Port Charlotte and Sarasota are having similar problems. It is not telecomm issues from here, and the routings are normal for a dynamic routed network, and proportionate between dialup and broadband. I do not have fewer hops or latency when I connect and can send, and the rate at which I send and get receipts versus attempts is now about 10% (1 out of 10 tries) average over the past week.

    I can see, on dialup, the server on the other end initiating connect 20-30 seconds AFTER the client has given up trying to send a WU and have communicated that to folding people. I THINK more folks are folding than ever,and the servers are prioritized to send out, and the receipts are being slightly de-emphasized enough to make turnins unreliable. Network load needs to be rebalanced, and server giove vs receive rpiorities need to be repriorized, or they have bad lines that are giving them noise somewhere in the folding net or between me and them. Latency to their servers is not radically out of line, pickup on port 8080 IS, and all clients are using port 8080 AFAIK from looking at things in detail over a week.
