Ohhhh! So that's the answer. All that computer crunching for nothing. So, will these "bogus" WUs finally leave the "Transfers" tab? I agree with you. Why don't they let us know these things on the front page of this site? Everything they do say is just so vague sometimes.

My PC has been trying to upload 10 WU's today - all day and can't reach the server. Whenever your site crashes I disconnect so none of mine get lost.

Read the posts above Peter...

When did you download them? If it was after the 11th, there is no point in attempting to upload them. They are now useless.

I just realised what you were saying...they were downloaded just prior to the latest crash. Does that mean I have to reset the project and ditch 10 WU's?? On the old Classic system they would have been retrieved automatically.

I downloaded 49 units on the 17th, 29 of these are completed and they are all useless?

Somebody needs a rocket up their ar$e :(

What a shambles

@ Peter
> So how do I ditch the 10 units that keep trying to upload?

Right click on Seti@Home in the "projects" tab, and select reset. All work will be flushed.

Yes. Anything received after the 11th, Berkeley no longer has any record of.

Agreed.

Or you can just wait for a couple of weeks, and they should go away on their own. If you are getting work to crunch, then don't bother resetting.
