Is Golem Down? Live status & outage reports

Service info and troubleshooting

Node fails to connect to network

First, check your firewall settings. Golem requires open ports for P2P communication — typically TCP and UDP on ports specified in your node configuration. Add exceptions for the Golem application in Windows Defender or your antivirus software. If you're behind a router, enable UPnP or manually forward the necessary ports. Sometimes ISP restrictions block P2P traffic, so contact your provider if the issue persists.

Tasks keep timing out

This usually happens when your hardware doesn't meet the task requirements or your internet connection is unstable. Check the task details before accepting — make sure your CPU, GPU, and RAM match what's needed. Run a speed test to verify your upload and download speeds are sufficient. High latency above 200ms can cause timeouts, so close bandwidth-heavy applications while computing tasks. Restart your node if tasks consistently fail after 10-15 minutes.

Payment transactions stuck in pending

• Verify your Ethereum wallet has enough ETH for gas fees
• Check current network congestion on blockchain explorers
• Wait at least 30 minutes before attempting another transaction
• Restart the application to refresh transaction status
• Ensure your wallet software is updated to the latest version

Application crashes during task execution

Outdated GPU drivers are the most common culprit. Download the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA or AMD websites. Monitor your system temperature — overheating causes sudden crashes. Clean your PC fans and improve ventilation. Reduce the number of concurrent tasks in settings if your hardware is marginal. Reinstall the application if crashes happen immediately after launch.

Provider status shows offline

Your node might appear offline even when running. Restart both the application and your router to refresh the network connection. Disable any proxy settings that might interfere with direct connections. Check if your system clock is synchronized — time discrepancies prevent proper network authentication. Update to the latest software version, as older releases sometimes lose network compatibility.
