Are servers down?

**Far-N-Wide** · 03-09-10, 12:58 AM

I was using an older 504 console I archived this folder, restarted the computer and installed a new Win32-x86 Concole and have been getting this error from start up. Going back to the old 504 and I get the same type or error message. Both start in the startup folder, not a service.

not for me they aren't

There is quite a thread on that particular issue in the folding forum. I think this started in about February?

http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13545

There are a few suggestions there about the configuations. I have found for me personally...that restarting the units is sometimes best. They will eventually connect

Hope this helps

I am now seeing a lot of this lately... What's a good fix? Shutting down the app and restarting, has been dumping the results to know where land. the app when it restarts. runs out to get a new work unit, and the credit for this one that is hung, never goes anyplace.

I have 3 others folders just like this one? What am I missing?

shutting down all the cores and restarting results in this.

Just lost all my time for 4 folders.. I have 2 left at 79%. if those dump. I'll be massivly pissed

**OSULLY** · 04-02-10, 08:06 PM

I think the focus is on making sure the newer programs have enough work and then work down from there. Which means that the servers run out of work for you.

**Far-N-Wide** · 04-03-10, 08:26 PM

I think something else is wrong, there seems to be a previous job that is not being up loaded. I am going to delete these folders and reinstall them, it is odd that 4 out of 6 folders have the same error. This is one of the 4 with the same error.
