2005-04-06 20:08:04 [BURP] Deferring communication with project for 59 seconds

Line-By-Line Explanation

• Started download of '(file)'

Started to download a new Version of a Science Application

• Finished download of '(file)'

This message indicates that the file has completed the download operation.

• Throughput 'x' bytes/sec

This message indicates the measured speed of the file transfer.

• signature verification failed for '(file)'

The Signature for this file given by the Data Server does not match the Signature we calculated it should be after download.

• Checksum or signature error for '(file)'

So the file is in error

• Unrecoverable error for result '(result)' (WU download error: couldn't get input files: '(file-list)')

Causing an "unrecoverable" error for the Science Application download.

• Deferring communication with project for "x" hours, "y" minutes, and "z" seconds

So, lets wait a bit and then try again.

[edit] App Version Download Error (old)

This log was from after BOINC required all files to be signed but Climateprediction had not got around to signing all its files.

Line-By-Line Explanation

• Scheduler RPC to '(url)' succeeded

Success in contacting the Scheduler.

• Started download of '(file)'

This message indicates the "File Name" of the file that is to be downloaded, and that the download operation has been started.

• Finished download of '(file)'

This message indicates that the file has completed the download operation.

• Throughput 'x' bytes/sec

This message indicates the measured speed of the file transfer.

• signature verification error for '(file)'

This message means that the file did not download correctly so that the test to ensure that we did get a valid download failed.

• Unrecoverable error for result '(result)' (app version download error: '(error-code)')

This message tells you the exact file that failed to pass the validation test, and why.

• Deferring communication with project for "x" hours, "y" minutes, and "z" seconds

Because we got a bad file download, we will pause for a moment before we retry getting work.
