the impression is that the more tasks, the more difficult it is to get them.
the server worked perfectly with 150k RTS and 5k active (even better with 2k active ;o) - for the application perf

Same here.

Probably has to do with the [i]million plus[/i ] tasks waiting for assimilation.

In past 24 hours I have received only 1 task across 5 PC's.

I see the project assimilation backlog is shrinking.

A brief word from the project administrator on the project status would be greatly appreciated!

Appears things are getting better with the assimilation backlog as noted below..
3 of 5 PC's in last 24 hours have been getting tasks on a semi-regular basis but the other two are getting the "no new tasks available message".

I have a few of my pc's set to no new tasks but all the rest of them are getting tasks on an irregular but hourly or so basis. I still get the upload retry on a few units as well but not anything like it used to be.

the client regularly freezes when loading / unloading a PERF task.
while both input files are the same for this version of the application or at least the current series of tasks
you can significantly reduce the load on the server if you mark these files with the "sticky" tag in the WU template
<input_template>
    <file_info>
    . . . . . .
         <sticky/> 
         <no_delete/> 
    </file_info>

    <workunit>
    . . . . . .
    </workunit>
</input_template>

<sticky/> if present, the file remains on the client after job is finished.
<no_delete/> if present, the file is not deleted from the server after job is completed. Use this if the file is used as input to more than one job.

I added to the input templates.
New tasks will include in input templates.
We'll see if it helps.

A day after the project admin posted in the News forum that they had a "storage issue" the project server status page frequently times out for me when I try to load it.

Some time in the last two days the project issued two GHOST TASKS to my account with five PC'S.

Finally got the server status page to load...
Server status page shows lots of workunits waiting for assimilation:
Tasks ready to send 176839

Workunits waiting for validation 190
Workunits waiting for assimilation 216985
Workunits waiting for file deletion 8796
Tasks waiting for file deletion 1030

I think the Admin is struggling with the popularity of the Project...usually the way to fix it is bigger and more SSD drives but that means more and more money and then more and more Server to handle them as you change the software to seperate tasks to different drives so one drive isn't busy with EVERY task. It's a process most projects go thru and growing pains are expected. Personally I think the Admin has done a great job keeping us informed and working around and thru the problems and getting the Project back ASAP each time it goes down. I hope in time the Admin can access the network of Boinc Admins to get some ideas about how to handle the growing pains as efficiently as possible unlike when the GoofyX Admin tried to do it on their own and had serious downtime as a result.

I agree the project admin/owner has done a spectacular job keeping things going.
Hopefully the project popularity does not get too overwhelming and overburden the hardware, software and the admin's time.
Wishing the best for this young project.

Getting the same thing here on one laptop that I decided to add.
How much bandwidth will the project use when it actually grabs tasks?

same over here.

and i am running Linux x64, so this is affecting both platforms.

i bet this is due to the limping transitioner.
