The status of each completed task is "Ready to report". This status does not change after the result has been uploaded successfully. Surely the status should then be something like "Reported" or "Uploaded"?

That's the answer to a different question. I did not ask how to upload results. I said the status remains unchanged ("Ready to report") after the result has been uploaded successfully (i.e. reported).

Returning results is for some reason, a two step process..

When processing is complete, the results are sent back to BOINC. The WU then becomes "Ready to Report".

Sometime later, the scheduler is contacted (may be when the next WU finishes), and then WU1 is "reported". WU2 then becomes "ready to report"!

To Manually advance it from RTR, (windows), go to projects, right click on seti, and choose update... On Linux, I user "-report_results_immediately" on the command line, and this seems to work unless the scheduler/project is down.

"Ready to Report" has confused me for months (as to the reason for the delay). It just seems that when the results have been uploaded, it should be reported to the scheduler, without this delay.

Thanks for that, Woody, it makes it a bit clearer. One of my pcs now has five completed tasks in "Ready to report" status, all of them having been uploaded... Seems designed to confuse!

I believe the design was done this way to reduce server load.
