I installed boinc a couple of days ago, and watched it finish a handful of s@h WUs. While the finished WUs disappeared from the work queue, there does not seem to be an entry in the log of them beeing uploaded, and my seti-boinc credit is still zero.

Because of the problem with getting new WUs, I installed predictor@home, and there are log entries of finished WUs having been uploaded, and the credits for them show up on p@h's web site.

Is this a known problem with 3.20 or is it a case of the oldest lines in the message log having been lost, or what?

thanks,
KH

After each WUWU is crunched, it is uploaded and a message appears to that effect under the messages tab. Then the WUs will disappear from the work Que when either the low water mark is reached or you do a manual update, and I have not seen a message generated for this. Also it can take a few days to a couple of weeks to received credit, because all WUs must be crunched by 2 more people then validated by the system.

OK, thanks!
My credits at predictor@home showed up within a few hours, and I assumed that seti@home would be similar given that they both use boinc.
