Any ideas? Shall I follow the advice from http://climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?p=98696 although the last post is from August?

PS. There are no WUs available on the Server Status page as of this writing and, also of note, is the fact that when I click on any task (completed, in progress,...) in my task list it doesn't load (the workunit & computer columns links work fine but the same happens when I click any task inside the workunit list or the tasks for any of my hosts).

Now new work units on server stats page. don't know about the rest of it though.

Update: Boinc downloaded a new WU for that machine. Now on my other machine, Computer ID 1043141, it says:

sounds like the regular weekend server problems. don't know why it isn't flagged up as red on the server status page though.

I'm getting the permanent HTTP error again and again. What can I do?

At the time of writing there are approx. 150 jobs available for download according to the server status page.

Bjarke: See my post here.

Just keep going and a good task will eventually be downloaded when the queue is cleared out.
