The client will only communicate with one project at once. For updates, for getting work for mass adding projects.

And it has to do it that way for a very good reason- if it tries to contact multiple projects t the same time, how does it determine how much work to ask for, for each project?

Then separate getting work from getting preferences, reporting work, changing resource share or location, etc.
Instead of skipping over a project the client just does nothing.

Seriously?
Contacting the Scheduler is how all those things are done as it involves communication with the project.
Getting work can't be done until previously done work is reported. Why have two completely separate mechanisms for that???

And even having all of these things addressed through multiple separate mechanisms still won't stop this issue (or a similar one) from occurring, as whatever is causing things to stall and not time out is likely to be imbedded in all of these additional independent contact points with the project that you want to implement.
So while it won't block the other functions, it will block the function it is meant to be doing.

Have you made any changes to the network timeout settings?
Are your upload and download speeds with that project very fast or very slow. How large is the Scheduler file being transferred?

Answering the questions i asked could actually be of use in helping resolve the issue.

I have never seen this issue even when I have several project in the list that are not active anymore.

That was a different one: RakeSearch

The SiDock website appears to be down

ETA Uploads also failing.

So many projects have absentee admins or terrible admins that half the projects would be delisted.

Moo also does work on NV 5000 GPUs. This task completed in 2.5 min:
11:58:36 (32107): wrapper v1.5 build 22 for nVidia OpenCL starting (BOINC Wrapper v7.13.26016)
11:58:36 (32107): device: OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (driver version 580.126.09, device version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA, 15840MB, 15840MB available, 29353 GFLOPS peak)

So right on the Admins.

Where is that v1.50 build 22 application at? For Windows? I only see v1.50 build 20. Thanks.

@Dave : Did you have a look at network bandwidth consumption ? are these tasks "streaming" anything ?

And regarding the "3. Place files in %USERPROFILE%\Axiom\contribute" : I wonder what kind of files and what kind of contributions they are referring to ?

@mmonnin did the guy say anything about this in discord ?

And so if there are no files copied in that folder, what are the boinc tasks actually doing ?
