This was after a fresh start on 1 of 3 machines. No old gens buffered.
Put all 3 back on-line at the same time & the other 2 have clear error logs.

Started again from scratch on the guilty box, & no errors so far (but it's only half way through gen 0).

Any ideas?

Status 901 RECEIVE_ERROR? Don't think I've ever seen that one before...

I too had a few "failed SOCK_gethostbyname" errors logged, but since the timestamp is now in the log also (did I say thank you to Howard for that one enough yet? ;)), I realized that the times coincided pretty well with the emails that ddclient sent me saying that my IP address had changed so it updated the dyndns.org DNS server. Basically, I'm pretty sure the problem was that my connection was down.

But of course, that's not your main problem, and I have no idea on the 910's. Unless you happened to catch a copy of the first offending receipt.txt?

I have had the 901 when it couldn't get a receipt.txt - got 910s shortly after so wiped and started again (was a new set anyway)...prob best to do that :)

I dont have the latest copy of the code with me so Ill have to look that one up and get back to you. Something was wrong with the files you uploaded though.

Went through the whole set with no recurrence of the problem so looks like it was just a temporary glitch in the matrix

other than that the error.log is fine???

Something went pear-shaped on Saturday and a bunch of us were getting beaucoup 901's when trying to upload from sneaker-netters.

[[DPC]Mobster]

Also getting 901-errors here. Nothing special about the clients. Just some buffered clients from offline machines trying to flush on online boxen....

Any suggestions?

[jonnyw]

Bit more info for you.

After the last set of problems I started a completely fresh install, and set it to "no net" straight away.

Since then folded approx 860 gens over the week. (at this point the error.log was clear [just entries each time the client started]).

Set them to upload last night and got this error.

Each time I set it to upload, it would do any amount from 0 to 16 gens before coming up with this erro (although points were being awarded).

After doing about 100 or so gens this way I left it for a few hours, and then started one of those bat scripts to continuously try to upload until no more files where left, although at this point the other 600 or so gens uploaded in one go (points were awarded as well).

Is there any info as to what is causing this error (i.e if it is client side or server side)? I'm guessing it's server side since most seemed to have apperaed over the weekend.

I've got a copy of the directory with about 600 buffered gens zipped up if you want me to send it to you howard (although it is 45 megs)

[tpdooley]

My home system is online - and I've got 8 or 9 entries in the error.log for the 901 errors. They start on May 8th, 16:42 and the last one is on May 10th, 6:08 - less than 2 hours ago.

It's not every generation - sometimes the errors are 16 mins apart, others they're hours apart.

[HaloJones]

901 errors are gone as far as I can see. Just uploaded 19 complete sets and no errors.

[shortfinal]

Same here. I am on occasion getting the following error after all filesets have been upload:

Data file checksum failed

Anybody else getting this error? It doesn't seem to affect anything. I get the points and the client is able to continue where it left off. I'm using the Tru64 version of the client.

Thanks,
Shotfinal

901 means the server did not successfully receive your upload for one reason or another. One of the servers borked on the weekend so thats why some people got this message. The client should be smart enough to deal with this message with no intervention from the user so just ignore them in general.

[[DPC]Mobster]

When this error occurs upload is terminated (when running with -ut that is).
Just restart foldit.bat then???

Yup.

I just had a bout of 901s. With the new client, though, they are fatal for the current gen as it borks filelist.txt and crashes. See:
http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6624

[Stardragon]

Could you clearly outline how the 901 errors are fatal to the client? (error messages, client behaviour, etc).
I would like to fix that issue.
