Also, I assume that should be "https" not "http"

WCG had some mis-configuration, now fixed after a couple of iterations.
May show http short term but IIRC comms is https.
See WCG forum for details.

I have an i3-8350K 4C Win10 16Gb RAM and a 5800X 8C/16T Win10 32Gb RAM - not a million miles off your two but much less RAM - and I'm doing nothing out of the ordinary.
iPlayer streaming in the background and some Excel work at most

I find the problem occurs when I do simple things. Click the start menu and it takes 3 seconds to do it. There must be some important difference between our setups. Windows 10/11? I don't think it's the virtualbox version, I have the same problem with 5 and 6.Back last year when I had windows 10,. I don't recall virtualbox being such a nuisance slowing things down, I often ran LHC on all or most of the cores on my main machine I was internet browsing on.

Which doesn't tell us why they're taking so bloody long to turn on the taps! CPU intermittent, Android virtually never, GPU none at all. Ridiculous.

Because if you would read their news forum section you would see they are having internal system to system communication problems among other really mind boggling IT issues. I can usually follow tech, but this is more like rack mounted server systems in a clean room vs a small rack system in an office.

And 2.5 hrs later it was done and no work available.

A multi billion dollar company with schoolboy errors. They need more than 3 techs.

And 2.5 hrs later it was done and no work available.

All my CPUs are running flat out on WCG. I've got loads of covid and rainfall, almost a 2 day queue on them all. It's just Androids and GPUs I can't get anything for.

UPDATE: Rainfall is coming in RIGHT NOW. Grab.

And they've changed 3 day to 6 day time limit.

Your stealing al the work again! lol

I have 7 computers to think of. It would be silicon cruelty to do otherwise. Would you have them doing endless Nbody tasks for Milkyway? They were getting bored!

leave some for me! my chips are getting bored as well. But at least they have a wide variety of work to do.

My buffers are full, I'm no longer tickling the server.

Irritatingly some of the African Rainfall tasks have a very short deadline and my older machines can't do them in time. I've sent some back as aborted.

My GPUs want to play with WCG again. I was doing folding at home, but that's a horrid buggy program worse than boinc. They're mostly on Einstein just now, as they're changing over from Gamma to Radio Wave stuff for a new idea a PhD student came up with.

I've got gamma ray still running on GPU and the BRP4x64 on CPU.
I wonder if I will get any mircat or if that is to advanced for my 1080.

Same here. The BRP should be coming to AMD and Nvidia GPUs, but I haven't seen it./ I've asked here: https://einsteinathome.org/content/em-searches-brp-raidiopulsar-and-fgrp-gamma-ray-pulsar?page=1#comment-198840

What is mircat? Do you mean MeerKAT, this? https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2018-07-13-meerkat-telescope-unveiled-south-africa

yep...meerkat.

WCG doesn't have any GPU work? All I get, when I get anything its CPU work.

A year or two ago, WCG had some GPU work. None since then.

It was only covid that developed GPU work. And they only did that occasionally because the scientists couldn't keep up with the speed of the data coming back. I thought we were going to get a huge lump of GPU work to start with since they'd been deprived of results for 4 months, but the servers are having load problems. They were having difficulty yesterday sending out all the data for the African Rainfall Project on CPU. My computers were retrying about 7 times before getting a file.

I've been dry for a week now.
You would think they would have a better IT team.
At this rate its going to be end of the year before they are ready and even then I doubt it.
And I wish they had a way to show how much work they are generating or holding like here so I could see if they are dry or just having IT issues.
Have you seen any new posts from them for news?

I thought they had a better IT team. This seems to take forever to figure out what their problems are and how to fix them. How long has this invalid URL thing been going on? That should have been easy to fix.

Its been a week now since my last tasks. Seems like it is going to take them the rest of the year to get up and running again.

It's beyond a joke they can't get this to work. Total and utter incompetance. I doubt the "IT staff" have any IT experience at all, probably students.

I'm getting work every other day en masse and a trickle inbetween, but then I'm pestering the server with all 10 machines every 5 minutes. Fuck them. If they can't produce the work, I'm gonna keep asking for it.

What if they start giving priority for getting work to machines that have gone the longest since their last request?
