[Milkyway@home] Server Outages

Post by BOINC_News »

Hi Everyone,

I'll be working for the rest of the night to try to resolve the large number of workunits waiting for validation. This will involve the server going up and down for maintenance, and certain processes may be turned off for periods of time tonight. I'm hoping that things are resolved tonight, but it is definitely possible that things may not be resolved by tomorrow.

Thanks for you patience and support!

I really wish they wouldn't limit the amount of tasks a single host can download at once. Fast GPUs can burn through them so fast that downtime like this means you're missing out on a lot.

and when you're depending on these 280X to keep your apartment warm during the Winter (like now) it really noticeable.
