be patient? yes
but this is the third attempt to start this project
the first attempt in 2017
the second in 2019
and now in 2023
so don't expect much longevity from this project

The restart is not going well . Items as viewed from the outside
1. Server Status page has been showing errors and no action is being taken
2. No Work being generated for an extended period of days
3. no News or Status updates after the initial week pf restart.

The project appears to less than a real project and more like a "hobby" project.

Respectfully

Project is Windows only.

Applications page lists Linux aps:
Linux running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU 224.89

Despite your (MrPhucker's) personal opinion,

A single instance of iThena Measurements doesn't use much data. But if you have a lot of them it can add up very quickly and that can be a problem for people who have low data caps.

I read somewhere that advocates were using the data against the cable companies to prove that 'high speed internet' is not always what they claim it is,

no idea where I saw it though but if it's available that would make sense. My own cable company claims over 80% of it's client have access to 'high speed internet' but over 30% of their clients still use wifi as their is no cable of any kind running to their homes. Some areas have zero internet whatsoever and kids have to go to the local McDonalds or library to do their homework. Some teachers have stopped assigning homework in areas where the students have no access to the internet from home.

Well....when you could run up to 1,000 instances on a single host, it adds up quick... Plus it is a lot of small data and put stress on routers/modems. And with a 1,000/PC you can get an awful lot of traffic going that adds up.

Its not really "checking" your internet connection. It is more "mapping" the route data is traveling between locations. And that route can actually change between cycles. There was another project called Dimes (non-BOINC) years ago that did essentially the same "science" but it was discontinued. Basically the same piece of data could travel infinite different paths to get to the same location. In theory they are supposed to take the shortest path but lines get congested, hardware over tasked or down, some re-routed intentionally for various reasons (including tracking), etc.. In theory they could take this data and make smarter devices/networks to make things more efficient.

I don't blame you. I wouldn't bother him either. However, they may be another admin that could do the same if you asked in LHC forums. I honestly don't even know if that was still the preferred method for getting the code.

It's a brand new, to the public, Project and it makes sense to limit the number of tasks per user so everyone gets some and not one person gets all of them and the rest of us get none. As the Admin said overtime they expect to up that to more tasks per pc. Look at the Project Ithena and how they are always having 'database full' messages because too many users are overwhelming the amount of space they have. They are working on it by increasing some of the task sizes but it will take time and probably money to fix the problem. MilkyWay limits the number of tasks a single user can get as well, it's not an uncommon thing, remember this is about the Science and one user crunching all the data can cause HUGE problems if their pc is not working correctly.

That last message means there are problems connecting to the Project, probably because it's in Russia and there is a War, or whatever they call it, going on.

I get the same thing but keep trying and it eventually goes thru.
