UD server %)*"£$%!!!

[floppybootstomp]

This f**king UD server! Arrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

Been trying to connect on two machines for over an hour now. Driving me 'kin nuts:grr:

This will not do! Tim will be edging ahead....:lol:

[ImaginAsian]

LOL...it's affecting all of us my homie :p

My machine is showing the infamous Flashing Viagara Pill :morph:

So Tim is suffering just like you!

[floppybootstomp]

Heehee, thanks mate, I finally got through.... :)

It does wind me up...:chainsaw:

[Mad dog]

Well they apear to still be down.

[ImaginAsian]

Hmmm...all my Viagra Pills aren't flashing anymore :beatsme:

[floppybootstomp]

MD is right. Must have been a fluke when I got through a little while ago.

It would appear that today the UD server is up and down more times than Madonna's knickers.

IA: wondered what you meant by that Viagra pill reference, I just figured you probably mean the blue tray icon.

So, mister, how you know what a Viagra pill look like?

:lol:

[BitBender]

To help keep IA's flag flying thru all that SHao-Lin deal training he provides, he gets a monthly supply. Just the thing for an active panty chaser! One doesn't want to be caught 'behind' in that game!!

Married panty chasers such as meself are kept in game preserves...to be harvested when the wyfe's see fit!

[Mad dog]

5 hours later they are still down and my athlon is wasting valuable cycles here.

[floppybootstomp]

Ditto. Ah well, it happens, damn frustrating though :(

Off to bed now. Got work tomorrow.

Ho-hum. Nite :)

[AmStoned]

Blue pills in Shao Lin temple? What kind of martial art are you training?

UD server seems to be working fairly well on this side of the pond. You think it's the line?

Anicent Martial Arts Discipline, handed down from many generations...the masters call it Chow Mai Pun Tang

No viagara for me folks! This stallion is still GROWING!!

Dam...the viagara has been flashing practically all day!! My 19 rigs are just playing with themselves :cryol:

[AmStoned]

Sick, dude.

Well, my blue pill was flashing just after the previous post. How weird was that. But the server's back now. Time to check my scores.

[tim]

I thought there was some 'informal' competition between me and flops, but now it's official and i've only just found out JEEZ!!!

The war has begun................

[ImaginAsian]

Go Get'em Big Guy...

Oh bugger :( Done it now. And all this after my award winning K6-2 300 mobo has fizzled out.

Of course Mr Top Qat, if you popped in more often, you'd have found out a whiles back...:D

Now, you're not considering those work machines are you? :eek:

[Orange Peel]

"Fight...Fight...Fight"

:machinegu :big gun:

[ImaginAsian]

Who wants to start a WAR with me?? :eek2:

:machinegu :big gun:


It may just have to be...

:machinegu :machinegu :machinegu :machinegu :big gun:

[KaraK]

damn thing is down again.. or is it just me ?

I've got my two most powerful rigs cooling there heels here :(

[KaraK]

ok... just as I posted that it came back. SPOOOKY!!

[floppybootstomp]

Ditto. Have been trying for the last two hours or so, but I just got through. I was thinking of this thread between pulling my hair out :)

Worst thing is, this rig just returned 7 points. My daughter's machine has a biggie to pass on, trouble is, she's asleep now, the computer's in her room, it'll have to wait til the morning....

[Orange Peel]

I have lost many results due to the servers being down. Its such a shame when it happens. I tried out the cache program but it kept messing up and I wasted even more results.

The worse one is my home PC. Its a 1.4 @ 1.6 on a dial up connection. I have Outlook set to dail up every 30 minutes incase there is a result to return, but over the past few weeks my ISP (BT) keeps rejection my connection, so my rig sits there all day waiting for me to manually dial up.

I'm trying to get cable installed, but I have to battle the forces of DAD first! I worked out that I miss out on upto 40 results a week due to dail up errors.

Can we start a "Help The Slayer get Cable" fund please. :D

[Techvillage]

Yes, it's been a pain in the arse tonight - I use UD monitor even though I have ADSL, purely becuase the UD servers seems to be uncontactable on a fairly regular basis recently.

Touchwood, I have found the UD monitor switches cache and sends and recive pretty well so far (i'm monitoring closely to see whether the gains of caching outweighs any lost cached results due to the UD monitor malfunctioning)

[tim]

My returns are well down, flops is pulling away! :cryol:

It's been stuck on some bleedin' long running molecule for about 3 days now! :cry:

I should be getting a new PC from work soon and it will be at least a 1Gig processor.
That will make 3 machines doing it for me : 1 x Athlon 1.4Gig 512MB, 1 x P3/550 384MB plus whatever the new machine turns out to be!

I'm gonna STOMP the FLOPPY one with my BOOT!

[M.i.S. Nemesis]

Well I just installed UD on my 10th computer, well see how I can get to the rest.

I think I will pick a fight with ImaginAsian.

Hey, Asian...only 15 computers. Soon you will be eating the corn from my shit pretty soon.


:FU:


:guillotin ImaginAsian:swords: :swords:

[ImaginAsian]

Hey Slayer...maybe RANDO can give some tips on the UD and Auto-Dialup proggies...he seems to have them running just fine so maybe he can help ya??

MIS...pick on me when I am down...what honor is in that :D

I'm left with two rigs...that's like shooting a bb gun at a tank!

Don't make me initiate Operation CrapUSA Panties which I have as a insurance plan!!

[M.i.S. Nemesis]

Muhahahhahaaaa

Sounds like WAR here!!!
:gunfight: :machinegu


:wizard: You shall not mess with the Wu-tang Shaolin Temple Matrix Ninja.

I'm going to have to get medieval on you, little grasshoppa.
:grab:

In best Black Adder voice: Bugger.

[BART WILLIAMS]

Looks like I am not the only one with dialup problems. I see some of you have to resort to Manual "HAND JOBS" to get your results.



IA. Your viagra will cost you 10 bucks a pill. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[floppybootstomp]

Maybe I should start this thread again :grr:

Been trying for seven hours to connect, still no go :dev:

Y'all (<<< gosh, I'm turning American :)) having trouble connecting right now?

[tim]

Same here, got 2 machines with the flashing viagra pill

Gotta catch flops! Gotta catch flops! Lets go go go go go man!

[ImaginAsian]

UD forums has posted an announcement that a major upgrade is taking place today (new agent) and other stuff so the viagara pill keeps on flashing baby :cryol:

Damn! And just when we were gonna take over Team Oracle too :(

[M.i.S. Nemesis]

There are some modifications going on in the UD server.
Here is the post from UD:

Hey all:
There are some changes underway here at United Devices that we wanted you to be aware of.

As I am sure many of you noticed, the web site is being redesigned. If you didn't notice, then you are probably new, so welcome!

The latest version of the agent will be released today if all goes well. Version 2 of the agent will bring some features that were requested by you, our members, and some that were required/desired by our management and customers to help the agent's evolution.

The server software that the agent connects to will also be updated for the same reasons.

To this end, the servers will be down for a couple of hours today. During this time, as always, the member web pages will be unavailable, and agents will not be able to connect. Expect connection delays ("unable to connect... backing off" errors) once the servers are back up as bandwidth is consumed pushing the updated agent.

Here is what you can expect with the new agent:



Terminal Services Handling: The agent has been modified to prevent multiple instances loading on a machine. This will prevent false results from being returned during a Terminal Services session.

Laptop Battery Awareness: There has been concern by the mobile members of our community that the agent was not laptop friendly. The new version of the agent will detect when the laptop is running on battery power and will go into Snooze mode for the duration. When the laptop is connected to the power supply again, the agent will resume work. It is recommended that laptops themselves be snoozed/suspended for transport, as the agent does not actually save during this time; it merely pauses.

Suggested Member Name: When installing the agent on a machine, it will read the Windows log in name and insert it into the Member Name field. This is just a suggested name, however, and can be modified by the member to suit their tastes.

Suggested Proxy Settings: When installing the agent on a machine, it will read the current proxy settings in Internet Options and load them into its own proxy settings. However it will not use them, meaning it will not set itself to use a proxy. The reason for this is that those settings can be retained by Windows even though Internet Options is set not to use a proxy server. If the use of proxy settings is required, they are available in the agent and can be activated by setting the agent to use a proxy server. If different proxy settings are required, they can be modified.

Processor Benchmark Display: The agent will now display a benchmark rating of the processor. This replaces the previous display of the Mhz comparison of the processor.

Revamped Help Files: The help files in the agent have been redone.

--------------------

Happy distributed computing!

Sincerely,
Ayer Edwards

Thanks for that :D Makes some sense now.

[floppybootstomp]

It's late over here, I'm swaying, but UD is now back on line.

Their update showed a new message: 'Analysing Network' which lasted about five minutes.

Also, they promised a new updated system comparison, which seems to be working. Take a peek at the pic below :D

[floppybootstomp]

My last return didn't get me any extra points. Also, I can't connect again, from another machine, right now, but that could be due to the surge of peeps hitting the server after such a long break in communications.

That last return was on my main rig, and the protein was less than an hour.

Now, I gotta biggie to upload, 86 hours, but I'm nervous it won't register.

I'll try again in the morning, that old quilt feeling mighty inviting right now.... :) Night.

[KaraK]

damn thing's been down since last night... its pissing me off heftily right now..

[floppybootstomp]

I know what you mean :grr:

Looks like I started the 'Vent your anger against the UD server' thread :)

Karak: I just this minute managed to get through after about ten tries. Good luck.

[KaraK]

STILL NOTHING!! goddamn thing is really pissing me off right now, my athy is sitting here wasting valuable cycles

[ImaginAsian]

hmmm...im getting through fine :beatsme:

[KaraK]

I still got nada

[Techvillage]

I have had problems since last night too, plus all the caches on UD Monitor are nigh on used up now - really need to connect soon or I'm gonna get the flashing blue viagra, and |I will be wasting cyles.

[AmStoned]

Y'all think this is a UK server problem?

[floppybootstomp]

Looks like it dunnit? I'm having probs connecting as well now. Haven't been able to get through for the last three hours. Tres bummer:grr:

[KaraK]

I finally got connected this morning - although mine may have been an issue with my machine since my copy of 2k pro was a little messed up in the networking dept - when I booted to 2k AS and ran UD from there it connected...

[ImaginAsian]

UK comrades...are you guys still seein the flashing viagara syndrome?? Hope KaraK's observations means you all back on track.
