I signed up as a participant yesterday but am unable to recieve any work units from the server. I have no problems with BOINC getting WU\'s from Einstein or SETI. Below are the messages from the server, I have had approx ten of these messages everytime BOINC contacts the server. I have Reset the project, updated etc but nothing works Regards Peter 23/09/2005 9:03:06 AM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: No work sent 23/09/2005 9:03:06 AM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: (reached daily quota of 2 results) 23/09/2005 9:03:06 AM|climateprediction.net|No work from project 23/09/2005 9:03:07 AM|climateprediction.net|Deferring communication with project for 1 hours, 50 minutes, and 58 seconds |

There is a problem at Oxford about missing data sets. (See <a href=\"http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=3228\"> this</a> thread.) They were looking into it, and I thought it would be fixed by now. Try again tomorrow. The daily quota is to prevent computers with a problem from wasteing lots of data sets. Which doesn\'t apply here. |

I think BOINC is insisting on downloading a sulphur model, and the problem is associated with these models. If you detatch and re-attach, you may just get a slab model instead, and there is no problem with these. You may subsequently need to merge computers because this process will create the newly attached computer as a separate machine from the old one. Merging is easy from your account pages (my computers) |

the missing workunits problem should be fixed now; our \"BOINC file deleter\" was a little overzealous. I have also resorted the BOINC feeder array so that it will try to send you a sulphur cycle workunit first (if your CPU & disk space allow), and then a slab model next. This required some modifications to the \"BOINC feeder\" since it wasn\'t really setup for prioritized multiple apps on a project simultaneously. |
