Connecting to your Folding@home client. . . timed out ?

Feek · 15 Mar 2020 at 09:07

Running Folding on my iMac, it all seems to be working but when the install completed it kicked open a web page using this URL: https://client.foldingathome.org but it fails to connect with this error.

I have no software firewall and I can see my WUs being uploaded so is this an issue? What's it trying to show me?

Thanks.

It is just for you to look at your effort through a browser, it is not needed for you to get work done.
It could be a browser issue, but basically it cannot connect to the client running on your computer.

You have appeared on the team now, but as feek.
I thought your blurry screen shot showed Feek ?

Correct, they're case sensitive? My old Seti@Home account was Feek, have I messed up somewhere and how can I correct this?

This is a guess, it has been a long time since I got a Passkey, I'm assuming you got one of those but used feek instead of Feek ??
If that is the reason I have no idea if you can change that, you may have to get another Passkey for Feek.

Nope, I used my real name. I've tried to get another one using Feek but no email has come through, I guess things are a bit overloaded at the moment.

...says it should be your Donor name when you request the passkey.

No idea how it resolves a client using a donor name that is different to the donor name given when requesting a passkey :confused:

I don't suppose it really matters as my meagre units are being added to the team. I'd just like the web interface to work.

My installation stopped downloading units for GPU for some reason, it was still downloading and running units for the CPU though.

Giving the CPU some exercise made a huge difference to the cooling efficiency of my AIO 360mm cooler. When I first bought the PC as a complete system from OcUK a couple weeks ago it was idling at 60C which I thought was a bit warm! Maybe these threadrippers run hot? I didn't know. Anyway, left it running overnight chewing on folding units at 75degC, then stopped it, now it idles at 40degC and runs 53degC on medium setting F@H. So I thought OcUK burned them in using Prime for 24hrs but that cannot have happened for mine.

Lots of new users (virus pleas from influencers) and the back end cannot cope with the load for now.

Code:

Hmm...

ChrisLX200 · 15 Mar 2020 at 19:07

Got work units for both CPU and GPU now...

24 cores of goodness chomping through them :-)

My passkey eventually came through, luckily its the same as the one I received years ago in my mails.

Feek · 17 Mar 2020 at 20:12

Mine didn't and I've gone two days without any units. I've uninstalled it now.

was you using cpu only? if you have a gpu that should get work unit after work unit. passkeys are working again now i think.

Feek · 17 Mar 2020 at 20:48

Nope, cpu only on the iMac.

gpuerrilla · 17 Mar 2020 at 21:23

I would imagine there is too many resources available so the work loads are soaked up fast when processed to go. A great scenario for the project in some regards. Will give it till the weekend to improve.

I think that TalkTalk may be blocking the download of data now... because neither F@H or BOINC can download..

gpuerrilla · 20 Mar 2020 at 11:50

I switched to BOINC and rosetta it worked straight away. Folding@ need to throw more hardware at it to cope.
