1) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute Errors on Pacific North West v7.22 Tasks (Message 49586)

All my PNWs are erroring out after about 15 seconds, so it's not an isolated incident. This on win xp 64-bit pro and win7 64-bit pro. Damn! Other wu's seem to be fine.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : WU stuck "in progress" (Message 48208)

Workunit 8477728, aka hadcm3n_zlce_1920_40_008326593 is displaying peculiar behavior on the computer to which it is assigned, #1279977. During the last six months it has never shown progress beyond 51.919%. It has, however, run the time remaining to zero twice! Presently on the third attempt to coax the wu to the finish line it sits at 342hrs 45mins with estimated 261hrs 48mins remaining.
Since it is only using one core out of twelve I have let it continue, but it does seem rather pointless now.
It has been successfully concluded on a Windows Vista system, but mine has Ubuntu 12.04. Just give me the word and I will abort.

Thanks for providing a well-run priority project for concerned individuals to participate in.

Thanks Les,
I am using boinc 6.10.58 so I think I'm safe there.
Of the two wu's I mentioned, hadam3p_eu_xstm_1969_1_007023362_0_13 departed the queue sometime this morning, so things are looking up. As for not losing credit, that's good to know and I will remember not to be concerned if it happens again when reaching 100%.

Trying to keep the planet happy,

I have been unsuccessful in the final uploading of two wu's:

3/10/2011 8:07:34 PM climateprediction.net Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_xstm_1969_1_007023362_0_13.zip: connect() failed
3/10/2011 8:07:47 PM climateprediction.net Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_xstl_1968_1_007023361_0_13.zip: connect() failed

messages also indicate recurring transient upload error and that the server appears to be unreachable.
From other info gleaned from the message board I tend to think the two wu's are trying to reach upload1, the server that keeps shutting down. I believe these two wu's were successfully completed by the end of January, exact date unknown to me. My understanding is that an uploading wu will automatically "error out" after attempting unsuccessful contact for 90 days. To my knowledge, all trickle-up transmissions were received and acknowledged. That being the case, will I just lose partial credit for the final upload?

Thanks for your help,
