It's currently 5PM PDT. Maybe they mean noon tomorrow - I'm sure it wasn't down before noon today. Oops.F@H stats site said:
Stanford does a Berkeley

Nah, it'd only be a Berkley if all the 7 year-old assignment servers went down at once.

They do appear to be suffering at the moment - however we can all get work so I don't see a real problem
There's some quite upset people on the official forums at the moment, silly really given Stanford's excellent record for tracing down lost credit

I for one am definately not complaining - it coincides with my server migration that has meant my fahstat sigs are currently not updating - great because it'll miss out on less stats 
(the lack of updating is not the cause for the error currently showing in my sig, that is due to me messing around with permissions in an attempt to get the updates working).
Even if it weren't for that I can't really see that I would be that bothered, even if it did mean lost credit.

And then Berkeley comes back and shows how it's supposed to be done - The project's up, but they can't send out new work (and it's going to be a while before they can).

Hehe ah well that doesn't bother me too much, just means I can whoop beansprout even more at BBC CP!
You foldy types have had it too easy with your perfect servers, you needed some kind of let down just to show how good the times really are.

We endured weeks of crappy low pointer WUs! Now everyone has twigged that we need to turn off -advmethods and now 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 pointers are the order of the day! Let the good times roll!

bah the servers have never been perfect - the system just has plenty of redundancy so when a few servers go down there is still work to be gotAmp34 said:You foldy types have had it too easy with your perfect servers, you needed some kind of let down just to show how good the times really are.
Borkeley always have been and always will be much better at making a whole system grind to a halt - it's just part of their DC heritage

I may have missed this somewhere along the line, but should we not be using -advmethods in our configs ?SiriusB said:

recently the choice of WUs when using -advmethods has actually been worse than withoutKE1HA said:
we were getting things like this:
then on removing -advmethods we started getting these:
and even some of these:
though from the feel of the current work it might be time to see what's back on -advmethods now
I think that's actually a coincidence, guys I haven't done a thing to my various PC's, (they all have -advmethods on) and they've all started getting 600 pointers and other wu's too. (Although the 380-390 pointers are actually *worse* than the small 40's and 120's were)

not on my machines they aren'tkinnison said:
they're not good WUs but definately better than what we were getting previously
you may have a point with the -advmethods on/off not making much difference though - most likely it's just down to what server you end up stuck on, though doing anything to get off that server will always help

I have left my advmethods flag on and recently have still seen a marked improvement int he work units, perhaps you could turn your flag back on and see if the units are worse?
I think there's something in it, though I suppose it could be coincidence. I had small wus for weeks, and as soon as it went off I got 3x 600 pointers on one machine and another on the other machine. Unfortunately the one machine has a 153 pointer now, but I'm sure the 600's will come back
Also, without advmethods you dont have a chance of the massive and rare 1000 point wu Still I've gone for consistent 600 pointers for the moment.
