I'm new in here, my MAC has completed its first unit of work and after a few unsuccessful tries (no wonder, the servers were down) managed to upload. I thought uploading meant that the results had been reported back to SETI but Boinc Manager now indicates that that work unit is in status "Ready to Report". What does this status mean? If uploading is not reporting what is uploading then? Thanks for the help

After uploading, go to Project, in Boinc Manager, Click on Seti@home to high light it, then click on the Update button, your work unit is now reported and you are now ready depending on your setting to receive more work. If you click on Messages next you will be able to see the process happening.

If you don't do anything, then after the next unit completes, the unit that is ready to be report will complete its process.

With BOINC, it is a two step process. First the completed work is sent to back to the server.
Second the work that has been sent back is "Ready to Report" its completion, but will only do it on the next update.

You can manually force the update as described in the previous message. Or you can just wait, and it will be reported automatically when the server is next contacted when new work is sent or downloaded.

The SETI servers are a bit overloaded, and there is frequent downtime sometimes. Don't worry, they will get it sorted out eventually.
