communication deferred with SETI@home. am I getting this message with SETI@home because there is no work? didn't seem that way when I checked servers at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_server_status.php
my LHC@home seems to be doing tasks fine. just started BOINC today. thanks for help.

Two things
First - "communication deferred" is a normal state - your computer is only allowed to contact the servers every 5 minutes or so, and in the gap this message is displayed. This has nothing to do with the availability of work for us on the servers.

Second - there is an issue with the distribution of work, this has been running for more than a week and no end in sight to the problem.
