haven't had this problem before...i have a work unit that completed several days ago and which has just been sitting with status 'ready to report.' i have checked with seti@home and don't see any system status messages to indicate that they're having any problems. this unit is due 2/3 and i'm starting to get nervous (i have another that will complete within the hour) - any ideas as to how i can encourage this unit to report?
thanks,
LB

Intelligence is not necessarily an evolutionary advantage

clik on the projects tab, click on seti in the right hand box and then update in the left hand column.

The Update feature is one of the BOINC basics :)

Besides: You don't need to report yourself since BOINC reports it at the next automatic scheduler request.

since 29-Jun-2004:

You don't have to report every single WU manually. Usually my computer 'collects' about 20 to 40 WUs that are 'Ready to report' before it connects to seti@home and reports them. The boinc manager reports these WUs only automaitically, if it runs out of work and downloads new WUs.
Just leave it running... It will report these WUs sooner or later.

There are two parts to returning work. When a result is completed, it's uploaded immediately. Separately, afterwards, it's reported to the scheduler.
The BOINC Daemon reports completed work at the first of:

1) The next work request for a project.
2) 24 hours before the deadline.
3) Immediately if the work is completed later than 24 hours before the deadline.
4) Connect every X days after the work is completed.
5) With the next trickle (CPDN only at this point).
6) When the user clicks update.
So it doesn't make extra connections to the scheduler (which is separate from the upload/download servers), and saves on bandwidth for you and the project.
