Berkeley is having big troubles with their servers, stay cool, I never
have less than 5 days in the cache.
I also had troubles with Ksetispy when I deleted/renamed folders or
moved wu's around, 3 results was deleted. I never touch the upload or
download dir's anymore!
You could have uploaded the backlog manually ;(

I know that there has been a prob at seti@home with a hard drive and that
the site has been a bit slow but I have not been able to send any results
for the last day.

Ksetispy connects and gets the new units to the cache but does not upload
the finished units.

Looking at the log it in the uploads section it just hangs at sending
result.

Don`t think it is anything to do with Kseitspy as this has been working for
months and nothing has changed, this only started yesterday.

Any thoughts?

Could it be a bad unit that needs to be cleared?

My backlog is now 6 units and counting.



Latest episode, well after a drastic complete install of all things seti it
seems to have sorted itself out.

The first unit that it had done still refused to upload though so I waited
till there was another one and now both have gone and have been credited, I
have tried to send the 6 backlog units by copying them over to the upload
dir and 2 went but 4 are bad so I just deleted them not worth the worry
over 4 units :)

Hopefully that is an end to it all.....



Well it has been a farce here, thought I got it working with a complete new
install of client into new dir and started her up, d/loaded new units to new
cache started a work unit and when I got up this morning the same prob, when
a unit is finished it tries to send but hangs with no messges in the log just
"connecting to server".

So I then thought it might be a corrupt exec, so d/loaded a new bin 3.08, I
was running 3.03 before, unpacked into new dir and ran it, all hunky dorey
thought I would use ksetiwatch just incase it was ksetspy that had got
confused, work unit finished and it got stuck uploading.

Went to dir and ran exec and it sent and d/l a new unit, so now I wait till
unit finishes and nothing it just hangs with no errors and I get the same
result if I run the bin from the directory

So am really confused now nothing will send results, four different
directories all in different locations each with a newly unconpressed client
each with new d/loaded units 2 with different clients 3-03/3.08

Anyone? :)
