New download failures... this time on Calc15Tuples.

Looks like it started September 8 2025 -- 8 TO 9 DAYS AGO. I currently have around 120 download failures.

Looks like p0roject lost input files for Calculate Tuples and Calc15Tuples tasks. It tried to download https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/download/140/wu_92644_get_sym_tuples.txt and got error 404.

I'm getting these download failures too. Any fix coming soon?

Loading errors are a technical issue.
They're related to data transfer, traffic, and the operation of the receiving computer.
The administrator can't check all the crunchers' computers and determine the cause of the loading failure on those computers.

I have one computer running in my project with remote control.
I don't see anything happening there at all.
The computer is working reliably.
I don't know if loading failures occur there.
If they do, they don't affect the computer's operation in any way.
I see that the computer is performing calculations and receiving credits.

This is not true. Your computer has over 7000 failed tasks due to permanent HTTP error.

They're related to data transfer, traffic, and the operation of the receiving computer.

This is not true also. If the same error happens for everyone this is 100% server issue.
And blaming "receiveng computer" in this situation is the silliest excuse possible.

I wanted to say that I am not involved in monitoring (observation).
This is a translation error.

This is not true also. If the same error happens for everyone this is 100% server issue.

Can you suggest us a better server?

Unfortunately, I can't replace the working server with another one.
I can't fix the working server either.
I don't know if it's even possible.
I think if it were possible, the administrator would have done it.

If you know how to fix the server to eliminate the "loading error," tell the administrator.

Simply repeating for the 101st time that a "loading error" is happening is pointless.

OK so if you are calling me a liar or blaming my multiple computers for your project having difficulties downloading work from your project server then I quit.

Can you suggest us a better server?

The problem isn't the server but the database. There seems to be some "old uncompleted" work still in the database that the server is attempting to send to members. However, there seems to a problem with either missing files or corrupted files on the server associated with that work. The admin needs to delete that work from the database so the server will stop trying to send that work to members or, if that is too technical. then stop the whole application.

This is not true.

This is not true also.

However, I'm not leaving!

And since this is your pet project and your title is "Project scientist" why can't you contact/message/email etc 'termit' to let him know about the problem that has been going on for WAY TOO MANY MONTHS?

These continued download failures make this look like it's run by a bunch of grade school children who probably would have fixed the problem in a matter of days.

I can see why your project will never get accepted by the BOINC DEVELOPERS for inclusion on the official list of projects.

No need to write in big print; I'm not blind.

I answered above that I can't fix this problem because I don't manage the server and the database.

Is that unclear?

But you do need tasks crunched to accomplish your goals, the constant download failures are turning people off, and that problem then become yours. Accomplishing your goals in your lifetime would be very good for you and whom ever is on your Team.

I don't have a team, I work alone.

I have many more important problems.
For example, health issues.
I'll be 76 in three months.
I hope you understand that my age brings inevitable health problems.
On July 19, 2024, I broke three fingers on my left hand.
My hand still hasn't recovered.
I can't peel a potato properly to put it in soup.

I have financial problems.
And many other problems.
And I can't solve them!

People are leaving the project.
I see it.
It's even more sad that the administrator has stopped working.

The administrator limits himself to server technical support.
He doesn't want to do anything else.
But the project needs work!

Since 2017, four tuples projects have been launched:
1. Stop@Home
2. TBEG
3. SPT
4. ODLK2025

All of them were launched on my initiative and under my scientific supervision.

I won't look for a fifth launch of the project.
I'm tired!

Have I failed to achieve my life goals?
Well, I have achieved something.
I have done everything I could.

I want to fly into space!
But they won't accept me.
However, soon I will fly there - my soul will fly.

I think you have done alot for the Science of the Math problems you are working on!! I hope your fingers get better soon!! Here in the US you can buy baby potatoes that you don't need to peel, you might look for them where you get your potatoes.

What you might also do is send a message to the Boinc Admins, the ones who release the different versions of Boinc, and make your case that the Admin here at ODLK1 is not responsive to you the Project Scientist and needs to be put on watch if they are Admins for other Projects. At some point we need to get rid of people who can't or won't help out as they are expected to be able to do. I understand that peoples priorities change but they need to find someone to take over their job or help you find someone new.

Here in the US you can buy baby potatoes that you don't need to peel, you might look for them where you get your potatoes.

Invite me to visit you in the USA :)

I want to give an interview: about my research, my dream, war and peace, your president...
He's a good dancer :)
By the way, we're almost the same age.
I also dance when good music plays.
I love tango.

Unfortunately I don’t have any contacts to facilitate any interviews and I no longer dance so it would be a wasted trip for you. I’m not sure my wife would like the idea either.

mikey
It was a joke.

I don't have money to travel to the US or anywhere else.
