I have had at least 3 work unit uploaded back to seti, but the
results server still has the work units mark as in progress.
Also, the files are still in my projects directory. I thought that
they were supposed to be in the slots directory. Is there a bug
in the new boinc client ??

The WUs will only be uploaded when the client contacts the server for new WUs. Nevertheless you can manually update by typing in Terminal:

/Path_to_SETI-BOINC_folder/boinc_4.13_powerpc-apple-darwin -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

Hi Maritn,

I was not talking about my prefs! Boinc-seti finished calculating the work units and
uploaded the results to seti without error. When I go to the results page on seti it
does not seem to have any knowledge of the uploads. Also, in the mean time my
machine has requested new work units(download) and recieved them. What I would expect
is that seti would show sucess for the uploaded WUs.

Keith,

when you see the message:
"2004-10-28 13:25:20 [SETI@home] Started upload of 27ap04aa.24346.18497.884652.126_3_0
2004-10-28 13:25:23 [SETI@home] Finished upload of 27ap04aa.24346.18497.884652.126_3_0"
it does not physically upload the results but only writes it to a results-file. This is being transfered the next time you contact the server in order to either update the preferences or download new WUs. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it is.

The results are uploaded when they are ready, but they appear on your result page, and the processed WUs are thrashed on your computer only when you contact the server -generally for downloading new Wus, or with an update_prefs command.
That can take a few days if gave a a large "contact server" delay in your prefs.
