I am in the process of removing one computer from my seti crunchers. I set SETI to "no new work" and was letting it deplete it's cache so I could uninstall BOINC.

Everything was working fine until I looked at the log today and saw this:

6/13/2005 7:29:39 PM|SETI@home|Started upload of 11ja05aa.29619.258.840898.179_7_0

6/13/2005 8:27:48 PM||May run out of work in 3.00 days; requesting more
6/13/2005 9:27:49 PM||May run out of work in 3.00 days; requesting more
6/13/2005 10:27:49 PM||May run out of work in 3.00 days; requesting more

Now it hasn't actually downloaded any new work, but it says that it is allowed to and does keep saying that it will request more. It's working like it is supposed to but what the log says is contradictory to that.

Any ideas about this?

The log entry is driven by a piece of code that is noticing that your queue is not full, and it is letting you know about that once per hour. It would like to get work from someplace, BUT, none of the projects are available for work requests (this is determined later). Maybe the log entry needs to be re-worded slightly to reflect that the main queue would like to request work:
May run out of work in 3.00 days; need to request more.

Thanks for the info, John. I knnew everything was working, I just couldn't match the behavior (which was right) to the log entries.
