Occasionally (for the past few weeks when I manually report a result) the connection to the scheduler succeeds, but the result is not reported to the project as shown by the project results web page. I haven't kept notes, but I think this has happened about 5 times. The majority of the time everything works as it is supposed to.

The message file shows a 3 minute delay (timeout?) between requesting the report and a succeed message from the server.

I'm guessing there can be a delay between the upload server and the scheduler. Maybe the scheduler doesn't know that I uploaded a result? This happens (sometimes) when I try to immediately report an uploaded result. Shouldn't I get a different message if the result isn't received correctly?

This is a non-problem since everything works eventually. The next time BOINC reports the result it is received.

I only mention it since it might indicate a communications bottleneck or a timing (load) problem between the servers.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"Then stop doing it" :-)

Yeah I get this occasionally also....usually when everything else at Rosie is busy, so it times out just like sometimes when I try and look at My Account......however, as you say it picks it up next time and nothing is ever lost....

I've actually got some results in my listing here on the website that I haven't yet accounted for on the computer they were assigned too. They are due in three days, but I no longer have them on my computer. I need to do some checking in the logs yet, but it's an interesting anomaly. I haven't seen anything like this on any of the other projects before, either...

Do a search for Ghost WU's on these threads. It is something known about.....
