New PearlBOINC Project DepSpid

Also, the servers like to go down for 1/2 of the day. Specifically around 12:00AM - 9:00AM PST (my time). A pain since I want to get some work before I got to school.

I finally got some new WUs ... and three of them immediately choked with 'Unrecoverable errors'. Oh well, the rest can run along with the other apps ...

I got the final solution now... If you go to the site and click "Top Teams" for example and you get the message...
"The project server is currently offline. Please try again later."
then the server is really offline and we can't upload WU's or do anything else.

But if you go there and everything works, and the top teams tables show for example, then shut down and restart boinc and everything will be fine.

The site is giving me the message now, and I have a few WU's needing to upload. (but failing to do so...) As soon as I see that the site/server is up again I'll do this procedure and I'm pretty sure it will work like yesterday.

That's normal... I think depSpid is a kind of project like Majestic-12. It spends most of the time just crawling on the net, and on the last bits of time uses some cpu to compress the results and send them back to home base.

It's classified as non-cpu intensive, you can't even suspend it. It runs along with other cpu intensive projects on boinc if you set up depspid along with some other projects.

For those of you running depSpid you can go here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php and download the latest BOINC alpha. Currently 5.8.3.
It has had the IP caching changed and should follow the IP address changes in depSpid a lot better. It seems quite stable too.

Nooo.. I don't wanna lose Crunch3r's 5.5.0. :P
Another drawback of the latest releases are that you have to finish all the work before requesting more. W/ 5.5.0, I can report 1 WU, and request another.
