I presume the glasgow server affects this

I can't tell. But something is keeping me from uploading or downloading workunits also.

The server status web page gives these warnings:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://einstein-dl.aei.uni-hannover.de/server_status.txt): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /raida/BOINC/projects/EinsteinAtHome/html/user/eah_server_status.php on line 263

The connection to Milkyway@Home is also down.

BOINC doesn't seem to have decided to ask GPUGRID, Collatz Conjecture, or PrimeGrid for any GPU workunits yet, leaving me with no GPU workunits to run.

I found a way to get BOINC to

I found a way to get BOINC to request more GPU workunits from other projects. Just suspend the entire Einstein@Home project, and it will do it. When you get enough GPU workunits, resume the Einstein@Home project so that it will be able to run the Einstein@Home workunits if it ever finishes downloading them.

Hi Thanks for letting me

Hi

Thanks for letting me know i'm not the only one.

One slight problem is that for gpu work units I only do einstein.

GPU grid specs are a wee bit high for me and no pennies for a new graphics card.

Cheers from Scotland

If you feel a need for GPU

If you feel a need for GPU workunits, you might try what I now do.

Sign up for Collatz Conjecture, PrimeGrid, or both, set them to send GPU workunits only, and give them a resource share of 0 so that you'll only get workunits from them when Einstein@Home can't send any. Their GPU card requirements are about the lowest I've found.

Not able to upload/download

Not able to upload/download any non-GPU wu's from Glasgow either.
Is there no way to use one of the other servers or does this work off the clients IP address ?
