I agree with George that this sounds like a bad WU.  Delete the WU folder
and then reset your cache size.  As for knowing which WU folder, all you
need to do is check the "Display Transmit" box to see which WU is
transmitting and clear the "Hide Processing" box to see which WU(s) is/are
currently processing.  The title bar of the command prompt session will be
"SETI nn" for processing WUs and "SETI nn Transmit" (if I remember
correctly - it's been a while since I looked at this code).  The 'nn' will
be the cache number.

SETI Driver catches and deals with most of these bad WUs - this is the first
time I've heard of SETI Driver not detecting one in over a year, but I know
they appear more frequently than once a year.

Hi,
How can I tell which folder this bad workunit might be hiding in?  Is
there
a way to open up a results file of a workunit (that is not being currently
worked on by S@h
application?
Thank you,
C. Brent Smith

It could be a bad unit. Sometimes there are units that just won't
finish, Seti Queue finds these occasionally and if you just delete
them the computer will just continue on and you just lose any work
done on that unit.

Hi all,

I have encountered an odd problem with a Win 2K machine that is running
SetiDriver as it caching program.

Suddenly and without warnign it has started to report that it still has
to
"1 WU to Send and 1 to Fill"  I also use Setiwatch to track the results
of
this machine (and three others) weirdness is that it is transmitting
its
workunits (stays in sync with SetiWatch and S@H site, plus with a
spreadsheet I fill in using data from S@H site and SetiWatch.)  If I
force a
transmit it immediately loads the new data into cache folder number 35
me
after about 15 sec I know that  it still needs to transmit and fill
because
the icon stays yellow instead of going to blue.  Does anyone know what
might
be causign this and how to possibly fix it?  I have rebooted the
machine
and
restarted SetiDriver numerous times ... it has never exhibited this
behavior
on any other machine.

Thanks,

C. Brent Smith
