I have been successfully using the BIONC Menubar version 4.25 (2) until recently when it stopped downloading WUs and my team rating sank into oblivion. This is the case for an old iMac G3 400MHz OS 10.3.9 and a new Intel iMac Core2Duo 2GHz OS 10.4.10.

I installed the latest BOINC Manager 5.10.20 on both machines and I am still having problems with SETI. The Manager will download WUs and crunch them but it will not upload them. Here is a sample of what the message tab says:

This is all the more frustrating because I am successfully running Einstein@Home.

My internet connection is Broadband Max 8Mbps through a Netgear DG834G Modem/Router

Help please...

I have almost the same set up as 1 of your machines -- Mac Mini @1.87GHz and OSX10.4.10 and have had no problems. OTH I may have just been lucky to miss a congested period as I know we have sometimes had the upload server a little overworked.

anyway good luck with it. Id post again if you are still having this problem.

Well nobody seems to have the answer to my problem and I have so many unreported results that I give up.

Bye...

My MacBook Pro is able to upload and report work units.

My recently acquired Mac Pro is having difficulty uploading completed work units. It gets to 100% but then the wu stays in the transfers tab with a retry countdown. I am getting the following messages:

I find it strange that one machine has no difficulty submitting completed work units, while the other can't submit them easily.

Well, I spoke too soon. Now the MacBook Pro is showing the same symptoms.

It looks like the upload problems are explained on the front page:


October 4, 2007
We tried moving the upload store off of a possibly flaky disk array yesterday. This slowed upload service dramatically. The slowdown was unexpected and we are in the process of fixing it..

At this very moment, I doubt they can fix it in time for the weekend. With my 10 day cache stretched to the limit and days of returning results sitting duck in my systems, I can't even download new WUs. I just have to cross my fingers and pray that my cache lasts me till the following week.
