Hi George! I have problems with several machines running ver. 22.4! They can't comminucate due to error 29. If nothing is done GIMPS and I will loose a doublecheck 60% done and 5-7 done TF's right now, not to mention the future work...... Please, do something! I on my behalf has updated any machine possible to at least 22.8, that helps. These machines still have about 14 days left. tnx in advance tsc - -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Eric Hahn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 1. august 2003 10:33 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Mersenne: Computing meltdown??? It appears that the message forwarding service is still down... and that v22 seems to have a problem in dial-up connections... attempting to force a dial-up and connnect to PrimeNet and after a great deal of time... finally erroring out... instead of checking to see if there is a connection present before attempting to communicate... and if not... waiting... and checking back later... to communicate when there is... Closely examining the Assignment Report... I've noticed that... mostly due to the message forwarding service being down... but also maybe a little from the v22 problem... only approximately 37% of assignments have been updated within the last **5** (FIVE) weeks... This is in comparison to the > 90% updates for the same period... over the last year... Are we going to have a major computing power meltdown??? Perhaps in the number of PCs using the client... or users continuing to work on the project??? 1/3 of the current computing power is still a lot of computing power... but a major... and significannt drop...

No meltdown. Transactions are flowing again through Entropia's forwarding gateway. They built a new web server and missed a setup step for GIMPS. We really only lose time with machines that didn't have enough work queued before the gateway was restored to service. They will all sync up just fine. Sorry for the confusion & trouble. Best regards, Scott Kurowski P.S. Still working on a new (mostly-)open source primenet design with George - - just the small distraction of starting another company to contend with... ;) _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 20:37:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Anurag Garg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Mersenne: Computing meltdown???

See below. This is a 633MHz Celeron, about 3 years old. Something is obviously wrong, but what?
