1) Message boards : BOINC client : can't download new work units (Message 16744)

I first noticed this when climateprediction@home completed a run but wouldn't download another model.

That is a feature.




I have the same problem while running seti, einstein and rosetta. Has nothing to do with the particular projects because it did it when I had only seti and einstein. Clicking reset doesn't do anything. I detach the project that's stopped downloading and then reattach. Downloading starts immediately and everything is fine again until the next time.
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Cannot attach to Project etc. (Message 4313)

I believe the problem you are experiencing is that your port 1043 is in use by another program. ICANN has registered that port to Boinc, but MS has used it in a program they made. Boinc used 1043 as a "loopback" address so that the manager could communicate with the daemon across networks. Boinc has switched to port 31416 in the newer developmental clients.

computers this apply to will say "disconnected" on the very bottom bar (right hand side) of the Boinc manager. it should read (in most instances) "connected to localhost".

are you experiencing this issue?

Thanks Tony. Boinc Manager also stopped working for me a few days ago. I guess around the time of one of my M$ hotfix updates. I too found that it would work by starting Boinc.exe but didn't want that as a permanent solution. All that's really needed is to install the BOINC 5.4.9 version. Port 31416 is used instead and everything works just fine. Thanks again.
