Server status says that there are zero tasks ready to send. My seven crunchers have a total of 18 GPUs and they have only 22 pending tasks.

Sergei, thanks for taking care of this problem. Now there are plenty of tasks (~13,800) ready to send! My crunchers now have a total of 72 tasks in progress.

This is happening to me too. It's annoying having to have a 2nd project ready to run when it occurs and sometimes I don't catch it. I'm losing a Million points per day now. |

The server is struggling with the current load. I've increased the target "Tasks ready to send" from 5000 to 30000, so even if it drops below 30k, hopefully it will still stay above 0. |

Totally normal out of work. Server reach limits cause of team challenge. I hope Sergei let it till all waiting validation clean up, to add new tasks. At least we run another 2 day without work. Seti@home Classic account User ID 955 member since 8 Sep 1999 classic CPU time 539,770 hours

This is why you don't run a Challenge without checking with or notifying the Project Admin prior to it. |

Server was doing well yesterday. Had work all day, overall pendings were dropping and available work going up. Now all that is the opposite. |

A challenge started today, probably one of the reasons .... In the past six days, the ETA has moved from February 24 to March 10. That ETA delay doesn't suggest that the challenge has sustainably increased throughput. Seems like something else is going on. https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/server_status.php

Dave, are you taking into consideration the transitioner backlog of 6.47 hours? I believe the challenge has progressed the project however because of the backlog of work needing to be validated et cetera, information we are seeing at https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/server_status.php is delayed by however big the transitioner backlog is |
