I downloaded a few workunits before outage and one of them has completed during the outage so I disabled network access to BOINC until the outage is over, but now it fails to upload a result.

I thought "OK it has a lot of results in upload queue", and I went to the server status page and saw that only one result was vaiting for validation. I think others have the same problem.

In the meantime it successfully downloaded two new workunits.

The server was down over night and anytime that happens it takes a while for the system to catch up.

Different applications run on different servers so in this case we can presume the download server was working fine while the upload server was getting a lot of hits due to the recent outage, this usually clears in a day or two.

OK, finally uploaded the result. I just left it to count down the time it automatically predicted and made sure that I'm connected at exactley that time. I think the server schedules automaticaly when it will have time to accept a new result.

No, the server does not schedule time, it is a random exponential backoff. The communications problems are caused by the backup after the outage a couple of days ago. Uploads always seem to fare worse than downloads.
