I reinstalled the stable version (7.6.22) but it failed to connect: when I start BOINC manager, the main window opens and simply reads "data reception ongoing" (loosely translated, since my computer is in Italian). Nothing ever goes any further than that. I later switched to version 7.6.33 with no difference. I tried deactivating my firewall, to no avail. I am currently running macOS Sierra 10.12.1. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Thanks in advance, Drounal ID: 73188 ·
