No conspiracy here, but we have had a rough April thus far with MolProbity. We are having many "hung jobs" which we haven't addressed administratively (iow process killing). Right now, we're doing this manually and trying to determine reasons behind the "hangs".

Dear All,
There seems to be some anti-validation conspiracy going on:

I would like to run Molprobity (http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/), but with
the following result:
Safari can't open the page "http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/"; because the
server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the
server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.

When trying WhatCheck (http://biotech.embl-ebi.ac.uk:8400/), the result is:
The Biotech service is discontinued due to hardware retirement outside our
control. We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause.

Then trying Procheck (ok, I know, the previous two are more up-to-date) from
CCP4 6.0.2 locally (installed yesterday!), the program hangs indefintely in
the >"proclean" step...

Who's behind this, the authors of a fourth validation suite?

Mark

PS the authors of the validation program who first fix their problems will most
likely earn the citation in the paper we are writing...
