I joined in July and reached just over halfway through my first unit of work (having sent several trickles from phase 2). I had a few problems several weeks back when there was an outage (I think for an upgrade, but can\'t quite remember), but when the CPN site came back, my work unit started from scratch. At the time, I just though fair enough and let it continue, although it wasn\'t sending any data or trickles back that I could see. However, this morning I had a computation error and the work unit completed. I now can not download any further work units and was wondering if I have a problem or if this is to do with the recent incident in Oxford? |

Please cut and past the messages that BOINC is giving you about the inability to download new work units. |

Please cut and past the messages that BOINC is giving you about the inability to download new work units. Sorry - I didn\'t explain that very well looking back at my original post. When I update the Project, BOINC requests 0 seconds of work. I think my main gripe is that I\'ve just spent 3 weeks of CPU time (on and off - 24x7 PC but I\'m processing SETI and Predictor on that PC as well) - that CPU time is basically redoing work that I have already been credited for and then the work unit fails. I\'ve reset the Project hoping that might reset my quota, but BOINC is still requesting zero seconds of work. |

About the request for zero seconds of work: The new versions of BOINC work differently. There is a page <a href=\"http://boinc.berkeley.edu/sched.php\"> here</a> about scheduling, and some on the BOINC Wiki, which is <a href=\"http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page\"> here.</a> When a model restarts, it will trickle as normal, but these will be discarded by the server until you reach a trickle that hasn\'t been received yet. You don\'t get credit for crunch time that you have already done. |
