Is there a way to tell BOINC to automatically update and report projects/tasks? I check in from time to time and, if a project is marked as being completed (100%), I click the "Update" button to send the results back. I know this happens automatically after time but is there a way to tell the BOINC client to automatically report projects as soon as they finish? I worry about my computer crashing after having completed some intensive projects and never reporting the progress.

Thanks in advance.

What Boinc version? and what are your cache settings?

I have a similar problem.

All of my CPU computations upload without any prompts from me. However, NONE of the computations done by the GPU upload. Why is that? How do I convince them to upload automatically? They used to do it as a matter of course, just like the CPU computations did. Why stop now?

What is even more odd is that the event log says that the file was uploaded. However, you look at the tasks tab and all of the files are still there, waiting to be uploaded "ready to report".

No, I didn't change any settings. Yes, I did a reboot of the computer.

Ready to report and uploading are two different things. Uploading is just moving data from your hard drive to a hard drive at the project. Reporting uses the database, and to keep overhead of the database use low, BOINC will try to report as many tasks as possible in one go, as reporting many at the same time takes as much overhead as reporting a single task. Thus reporting multiple ones is more efficient.

Reporting of tasks happens at:
1) 24 hours before deadline.
2) Connect Every X before deadline.
3) 24 hours after task completion.
4) Immediately if the upload completes later than either 1, 2, or 3 upon completion of the task.
5) On a trickle up message.
6) On a trickle down request.
7) On a server scheduled connection. Used, but I am not certain by which project.
8) On a request for new work.
9) When the user pushes the update button.
10) On a request from an account manager.
11) Report immediately every task, if "No new Task" is set.
12) Report immediately if CPU or network time-of-day override starts in the next 30 minutes. (BOINC 7.0)
13) When minimum work buffer is reached. (BOINC 7.0)

And then, magically, it resolved itself. Nothing I did, that's for sure.
