Vey slow upload

[kirkr]

It's taking between 3-10 min/generation for upload. Is this normal? I have a machine with 197 generations buffered and it seems impossible to finish.

Just uploaded ca 400 generations.
5-10 sec pr. gen. (56Kb modem)
No problems here

have you checked for the MS-Blaster worm?

visit www.norton.com for a removal tool; and links to MS patches for Win NT OSes (4.0, 2k, XP) - in case you've gotten infected with something eating up your bandwidth..

Problem appears to be firewall; I'll have to take the data home to upload.

TyOI

has a solution to the slow uploads been found yet

that i know of there are no viruses on the cluster, no problems with the firewall all systems are either running Win XP Pro or Win2K Pro and have a min or 256Mb Ram each

the only problem i have with DF is it takes an eternity to upload and this is the reason I do very little on this project meantime

solve the upload problem and you can have 30 CPU working 24/7 on the project

Sorry, TyOI. As responsive as the admins on this client are (and they are very responsive), it is clear that they have never tried to upload a large block of results over a dialup connection, especially on the day of a protein change, with the kids waiting transport to a soccer game, dinner on the stove, and the dog scratching at the door. If they had, we would have a system that rapidly accepts your block of results into a temp file, prints "The Mount Sinai Hospital Distributed Folding Research Project has just received 723 results from user <<TyOI>>. These results will now be checked for validity and added to our database. Credit for your work will be posted at the next stats update. Thanks and have a nice day." The response would be disabled for single-unit uploads, as from an always-on user.

As it stands, they have only envisioned complete point-of-entry validation and processing and that's what we have. I should point out in their defense, that it's a LOT more work to do post-processing. Sure would speed up the online interface, though.
