When a BOINC finished the task, uploaded it - "I get Ready to report" in status. How to report it?

It'll report itself when BOINC is ready. BOINC reports results in batches so the SETI servers don't get hammered. There's no need to do anything; don't micromanage BOINC. It is a install-it-and-forget-it type application. No user intervention is normally required.

Reporting Work

There are two parts to returning work. First, when a result is completed, it is immediately uploaded and marked as ready to report. Later, it is reported to the scheduler. This is so it can report batches of WU to the scheduler (which is a separate sever than the upload/download servers), and saves on bandwidth for you and the project.

BOINC reports completed work at the first of:

1) The next work request from 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.
7) Connect every X days before the report is due. (new with 5.4).
