Thanks for the quick resolution. The stuck file uploaded, the task has been reported and is now waiting for its workunit to be processed by the validator.

Edit: now validated, with granted credit of 58.59.

My _0 task from WU corona_3CLpro_v7_run_2_nb3di_358401_2 has been failing to upload since it was completed at on 20:11 on 7th Jan (run time 1:12:15, CPU time 1:11:35), and it has now been flagged as timed out. The _1 task has also timed out on another Windows system, the first repair task has succeeded on a Linux system (the second repair task is on a third Windows system).

The stuck task's _1 file was 126,962 bytes and uploaded successfully, and my system has successfully completed 57 other 3CLpro_v7_run_2 tasks and 16 3CLpro_v8_run_2 tasks since the problem task.

The stuck file is 18,481,514 bytes (17.63 MB) and has been retried 31 times with 2 connection failures and 1 transient HTTP failure. I've captured the event log debug output for a forced attempt, and it's indicating that the file is too large (the upload works but gets an HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large response):

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Never ending WU's ? (Message 728)
Posted 22 Mar 2021 by Thyme Lawn
Post:

My 4GHz i7-6700K Windows 10 system limits BOINC to using 7 CPUs. It downloaded 14 of the corona_Eprot tasks yesterday, with each of them having a 48-hour deadline and a 70-minute runtime estimate.

The first task took 9 hours, the second 9.5 hours. The deadline is now less than 16 hours away, but Boinc doesn't recognise there's a problem because the estimated runtime (calculated using the workunit's rsc_fpops_est value)
is out by a factor of at least 8. I'm expecting some of the 12 pending tasks to miss their deadline and others to be cancelled by the server because they haven't been started before their deadline.
