WU upload error "Exception: Transfer failed"

Been happening since yesterday. Also went from 97283 points to 16615 and going down even further every minute.

Any hints on how to fix it? I want to help with my GPU power but not being able to upload I'm not actually helping at all.

The servers are currently slammed due to the very fast rise in the number of people helping out with Folding@home. They are currently exhausting workunits faster than they are being made available and sometimes the flood is preventing the upload. The research teams are rapidly setting up new servers to keep up with demand and putting new projects (including the WuFlu/COVID-19) into the queue, so hopefully this will resolve soon. I'd recommend just leaving everything online and your software should upload when its possible and pick up new work when its available. Things should clear up over the next couple of days, I expect.

Thanks for the info, Jesse! I appreciate it. Hopefully it all goes back to normal soon and we're able to break that virus apart ASAP.

Absolutely. You can see some of the visualizations up on Twitter now: https://twitter.com/drGregBowman/status ... 1310192640 and, as I understand, the results are likely going to be published and shared as quickly as possible. I hope we absolutely nail this thing.
