Why is this? How can I fix it? Thank you for your time! ID: 71793 ·

"Allow new tasks" or "No new tasks"? ID: 71794 ·

If no longer in Event Log, check through stdoutdae.txt or stdoutdae.old in the data directory. ID: 71814 ·

That can be checked. In any case, checking the logs for actual request for work + downloads of work while the command was set is another way. Does WCG have a form of "resend lost tasks"? That could be another way why tasks download when NNT has been set. ID: 71817 ·

SekeRob2, your guess was absolutely right. I had a queue of lots of tasks which were now shown after clicking "show all tasks". Thanks for the help! ID: 71818 ·

WCG does have Lost result resending, but for an extremely limited time before 'lost' is considered 'no time to pense over, sent to other client and free up slots'. The give away would have been the odd/uneven deadline.... not like 10.00 days, but 7.86 or whatever. Coelum Non Animum Mutant, Qui Trans Mare Currunt ID: 71849 ·
