I installed the new BOINC and selected einstein@home and Seti@home for projects. Several project #'s are listed (5 each) and say "ready to run", but so far, only einstein@home has been working! I want to run seti@home! I made seti's resource= 200, and einstein's= 100. Seti should run first but it isn't--and hasn't since I began. Please help!!

Hi Trish

What is the entry you made in 'Preferences', 'Connect to network about every'?
It should not be too high, as Einstein has a deadline of only 1 week, while at Seti it's 2 weeks. '5' is an absolute maximum, better set it to '1' or '2'.

Most probably your BOINC has detected that it had downloaded too many Einstein-Wu's, so that it went into panic mode to finish those before deadline.
It did the same to me when I attached a new machine to the two projects.

Just let BOINC work. It will not download too many Einsteins any more in the future. So, after it has delivered the present Einstein WUs, you will see that it quits panicking and works in your desired 2:1 mode.
