I'm working on MilkyWay@Home and whenever the projects get to 100% they stop and then don't do anything. When I tell them to update, they say "communication deferred" a timer starts, then when it ends nothing happens. It stays there at 100%. It's still crediting me for work done so I'm not sure if it went through or not.

Thanks for your help, although I can't find completed projects on the list even when I tell it to view all projects.

That's completed tasks, not projects, If your completed tasks have already been reported, you then can't view them in Boinc Manager, you'll just have to go the project website to view them there instead,

I can not get enough work units to keep my computer busy i.e. my preference is to have 10 days of works unit availible, but I only have enough units for ~24 hours. When prompting the project for more, it bounces back "10/5/2011 8:07:10 PM | SETI@home | This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress"

It's frustrating when my computer can run ~20,000 credits a day, but because the project won't supply 10 days worth and with the I/O bottle necks and breakdowns, it only averages 10,000. Why am I not getting 10 days worth?

Read the Forums over at Setiathome, this is the Boinc Message Boards and has nothing to do with Individual Projects.

Basically there were scheduler changes that mucked up the DCF all hosts Wu's would achieve, (and prodicted runtimes)
and when the fix was applied all hosts would overfetch work, so they applied a limit of 50 tasks for CPU's and 400 tasks for GPU's for now.

As my one boss said "there are no anomalies, only what we don't understand yet"
Thank you for the info. KC
