Hi,

Background:
I'm running SETI@Home on my MacBook (Computer ID 4484198). A while back I changed some settings so it wouldn't go to sleep so quickly, and get a lot more work done overnight. The changes worked, as my RAC has jumped from the 100-120 range up to 170-180. I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem, but it's the only BOINC related change I've made recently.

Problem:
As I was looking over my task list I saw two tasks in red that were both sent on Feb 2nd, and not returned yet. The two tasks:
ID // Name
1145729647 // 18dc08ab.21876.5389.15.8.97_1
1145822705 // 18dc08ab.21876.292172.15.8.227_1
don't show up anywhere in my message log. Instead, there are a bunch of messages like:

Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 582 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error
Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 1046 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
Access to reference site succeeded - project servers may be temporarily down.
Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached
Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 1619 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
SScheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks
Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)

and so on until about midnight local (UTC-7), the time period these two tasks were to have been sent.

Questions:
Should I be concerned?
Did I screw up something?

Thanks,
JCW

They are probably ghost units.

It happens occasionally, especially when the servers have a small case of indigestion.

Don't worry about them, when they time out they will be sent to someone else to crunch.

Thanks.
