Christmas Quest Contest

[Nflight]

Meshmar I am causing a lot of work units to be canceled due to my system downloading way too much for the system to handle. I have discussed this issue with many people but my system will not stop till the most amount allowed is downloaded no matter what I set the preferences to. This of course makes me cancel or abort a huge amount of work units. Very Time consuming. This is why I hate BOINC projects. Freaking ridiculous.

Yeah, finally changed to PSP also...

In case anybody missed this from the other thread, take note!
Scores will be kept for individuals and teams. Only work units issued AFTER 17 December 2008 12:04 UTC and received BEFORE 21 December 2008 12:04 UTC will be considered for credit. Since this is a fixed credit project, we'll be using cobblestones for scoring.

It looks like we will need to do a flush of all our old wu's.

I won't be able to flush as I am on the road, but I set my buffers for only 0.5 days so my overrun shouldn't be too bad.

I'm not canceling mine ... they are "Canceled by Server". Those along with the "Lost Workunit resent" are all coming from the Primegrid end. It's burning a lot of HD and Bandwidth time ...

i have found out for some reason all comps besides the one is this event for PSP Sieve work units is downloading 64 bit (primegrid_psp_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.02_windows_x86_6 4.exe) instead of 32 bit (primegrid_psp_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.02_windows_intel x86.exe) since i have 32 bit xp and boinc installed and running i guess thats why i have been getting client errors

Stats update!

Meshmar, those power failures are killing you in the contest. You've reached the 73 credits/hour average, and still rising, but vaughan is getting away, and Jason is getting close. Maybe you can push the OC a little bit more to compensate for the lost time?

Bender, you're racking up the credits like a rocket! Now you're really tapping the potential of your cruncher there.

[meshmar]

Now comes the real test - I'm going to be gone for the weekend to a family reunion ...

Hopefully, the power issues will hold off while I'm gone.

[NeoGen]

Well... we're on the 20th of the month now, two thirds of the contest are now done.

In 20 days 12 machines have crunched over 50,000 WUs that took more than 8,500 CPU hours and generated more than 300,000 credits for the Team. These numbers are impressive.

I'm keeping the stats updated about 2x a day, so even if I don't post announcing stats update you can always check the stats.
