First my inquiry, then my configuration... I am one of those that is still on dialup, uploading results has not been a problem, but reporting has been. Typically BOINC would automatically retry every 58 seconds. With this, I would let it continue trying while I was online. Sometimes it would take a day or two as I am not usually online very long at hom, but they would finally report Now, BOINC is backing off for days at a time before it tries to report again. Is there anyway to force it into a 58 second loop again? I do have one system on broadband that doesn't have any issues, but it is no at the same location. BOINC 4.45 S@H 4.18 Thanks, Gary |

As soon as you have one successful connection it will reset the timer. |

When you say at the next connection, does that mean when a result is uploaded or reported? I have uploaded about 25 results since the timer went sky high. Thanks |

to force BOINC to report any uploaded WU's, go to the projects tab. Hightlight the project that has reports ready, then push "update". First my inquiry, then my configuration... |

I already try to force the update, but since I am on a dial up connection BOINC will either try once on its own or I will have to keep manually forcing an udate as long as I am online. I was curious if there was a way to get BOINC back to the 58 second delay. I just returned another 9 results, but am unable to report. Thanks |

Upload Manually and Update Manually atleast once a Day. I am on Dial Up and have the Exact same problem with not being On All The Time. It is Very Easy to Manually Upload and Update. |

The upload is not a problem as I will do this usually once a day. The update to report is where the problem arises. While I am online, I will usually try to update to report every couple of minutes. To try an make things easier, I have set this machine for "No New Work" until I can get the current results reported. Previously when BOINC would go into the automatic 58 second delay, I would leave the system connected at night after I went to bed and it would eventually report the results. Unfortunately the delay that it will give now is on the order of days, not hours, or even minutes. Thanks |
