sorry ageles, i was frustrated at the moment of reading from a lot of other stuff and having my results run up to a couple hundred still waiting to send in....
i just took it for granted....

ill keep waiting for the upload to work propperly again...

about the problem with not receiving: for now i will make use of the suspending seti and let milky way get results in and resume seti until there is a permanent fix in a next release?
its too much of a hasle to lookup the password for every computer, then make the projects stop fetching work and wait until the crunching is done then wait for all to be send ...

Unfortunately, micro-managing the scheduling oneself is the only way to make 6.6.36 work. I have CPDN running and with reporting due in May 2010. I have given equal preference to Rosetta (it has 3 hour WUs) on two dual core computers and BOINC gives way too much priority to CPDN. If I left it to BOINC, I would get no Rosetta units - the server thinks the WU will not finish in time. This is an issue with scheduling. It is well documented. There are many posts on this forum and on project fora saying the same thing. A common response is that it is known about but that there is no will to fix it.



no will to fix... sounds a little irrisponsible towards the projects participating and being the victim of this bug...(i know the boinc dev's are busy people so no offense meant but...)


i am running boinc on 20 computers and adding. I specially installed the latest boinc to have all pc's the same,i dont feel like walking by them again and reinstall an older version.

tho maybe it is a good idea anyways since i also experience uploading problems, leaving me with maybe 200 or 300 completed units (seti/milkyway) not getting uploaded while downloading works perfectly

i am running boinc 6.6.36 on win7 rc1 x64

i have 2 projects: seti and milkyway

some time ago i ran out of work for the milkway project, ever since i dont receive new work anymore
telling me this:

08/07/2009 21:49:59 Milkyway@home Message from server: No work sent

08/07/2009 21:49:59 Milkyway@home Message from server: (won't finish in time) BOINC runs 71.3% of time, computation enabled 98.2% of that

when i suspended seti and i ordered an update of milkyway i received work again....

i assume i configured something wrong, but is there a possibility this is a bug?
