Still, just for the record even when I'm not in the lab I do check in from time to time and I noticed we were draining work. So before the queue ran to zero I started more splitters. This is good and bad: we're filling the ready-to-send queue, but at the expense of throttling the work we are able to send out. So be it. I'm keeping my eyes on it (when taking breaks from cleaning out my basement) so don't fret... - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

I also can work from home. Much better to let the electrons do all the commuting. Saves my time! But beware 24 hour working!! Hang in there and keep it smooth! (And should you clear out your junk? Or should you keep it for whatever 'rainy day'?...) Regards, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 630491 ·

It looks like you either have or are in the process of downloading work for all of your systems. I've successfully downloaded 15 out of 16 Results in the last 8 hours. We've been warned of download delays. Just let BOINC do it's thing and have a nice weekend. (Do NOT Abort the downloads or Reset the Project!) ID: 630734 ·

I manually hit "Retry now" a few times with each one of them until they got downloaded. I did notice one thing... whenever it tried for up to half a minute it failed and it went back to countdown for the next try... if it did try for about 45 secs or more the download commenced and finished. So to me it seems that the client just doesn't try long enough to get the WU's downloaded. ID: 631025 ·

If your system's completely idle, you can always connect to another project to get some work. Seti has stated that they will not always have work available. there is work available, we just can't download it. thanks for for your input... It looks like you either have or are in the process of downloading work for all of your systems. I've successfully downloaded 15 out of 16 Results in the last 8 hours. We've been warned of download delays. Just let BOINC do it's thing and have a nice weekend. (Do NOT Abort the downloads or Reset the Project!) aborting the downloads helps rectify the sistuation, i was able to download the new work units. now this morning the computer has hung on the new workunit downloads. I've managed to get those 4 WU's I had in queue downloaded. .... So to me it seems that the client just doesn't try long enough to get the WU's downloaded. Now if you were a Mac you wouldn't have this problem, seems their timmer is set longer. ID: 631038 ·

I've had WUs stuck trying to download for DAYS and hitting retry doesn't help, either. This machine managed to run completely out of work, despite having five projects active. I managed to fiddle with the client to get it do download some Einstein WUs. ID: 631795 ·

Hitting retry doesn't work for me any longer either. This is extremely annoying. Increased the work buffer and watched how it tried by itself. Two of the wu's got past the 21 seconds but didn't start to recieve anything until after 2 min 30 secs. There might be a problem with BOINC but to me this suggests an issue on the server side as well, it shouldn't take this long to send them out, should it? ID: 631870 ·
