No SETI tasks

I attached to another project about a week ago on the same host - both at 100% (50% host).

Anyhow, the other project started slowly climbing in RAC and SETI started dropping slightly, except for a spike today after a big chunk of reports went thru, at that point which SETI messages in BOINC started:

Sun Oct 18 12:20:13 2009 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Sun Oct 18 12:20:13 2009 SETI@home Requesting new tasks
Sun Oct 18 12:20:18 2009 SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Sun Oct 18 12:20:18 2009 SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)

There are no remaining SETI tasks on my host (iMac), only the other project, tho both projects remain active locally (not suspended, etc.)

The advanced stats host average graph in BOINC (except for the blip I'm attributing to the mentioned flurry of last reports on SETI) shows the other project almost in a near-vertical climb, vs the slow ramp of the past week.

Is this is normal and connected to debt or something that just took a week to kick in?

Lack of work is only normal in the sense that the servers like to act up on weekends when noone is around to give them a swift kick.

Your Seti RAC will drop as the other project climbs since the CPU now shares time between two projects. The overall total RAC should work out to about the same.

Apologies, should have added some context myself... I am slowly learning how it all ties together.

No worries here, other than I'd rather be learning (and flailing about) in some sort of BOINC sandbox than on actual projects - despite the mentioned redundancy, every error slows the projects up, upsets the apple carts for those in horse races, etc.

ps - I'd love to see something like the mentioned sandbox, as well as an updated version of the unofficial BOINC wiki as the official front-end for for BOINC - it's great, tho I do understand and appreciate the complexities of all of this as being largely volunteer run

(edited to close out - appears that adding on the project caused a shift in debt and priority to exclusively run the non-SETI project, based on the wiki- time will tell - am subscribed tho, further info welcomed, thx.)

Hope it's ok to hijack this thread as the title is relevant.

I felt like taking a peek at my BOINC stats today, as you do, and realised that there are no tasks running.
I've closed down and reopened BOINC - Still nothing.
I've pressed the update option - Still nothing.
I have reset the Project & detatched/reattached - Still nothing.

As I am not technical in anyway my brain would just explode if I were to try and think it through... so could you please help?

Oh, almost forgot... I'm only running the one project: Seti@Home.

PROBLEM SOLVED... BOINC decided to download all 4 tasks at the same time, and took a total of 25 mins to do so. Phew. *Buys a beer for all who read this thread and pondered*

Hello,

Does Seti not have any tasks still?

I keep updating and nothing. Also it is saying "Communication Deferred". I been a SETI user since last year.

I just re-downloaded and installed BOINC.

As per this post by Matt Lebofsky:

... until we ran out of work to send out. Turns out the last 10 files I brought up from Arecibo are all broken. <sad trombone>Fwa wa wa waaaaa</sad trombone>. This is particularly frustrating as I was busting my hump trying to get enough work on line before the long holiday weekend, and now we have zero. So it'll be to me and Jeff to check in over the next few days and kick the pipeline along. We'll be out of real work to send out until this evening at the earliest, and quite probably hit long periods of no work throughout the weekend. Fine.

My queue is completely empty.

The Server Status Page shows that there are tasks available, a download server is running, and several splitters are running...

Yet, I still can't get any tasks.
SETI has been this way for days.
Is there any prognosis? ...estimated time of repair?
