I just got BIONIC and S@H half an hour ago. When I started it up, I had 4 tasks pending download. When I give the "okay" to start, they download at like 5 KBps. In the preferences, I boosted the download rate to 1000 KBps (1 MB Router). So those aren't going anywhere. Second, I have two tasks pending, and those won't do anything at all. Also, if you want logs, you'll have to explain how to get them.

Downloaded wrong S@H. -_- Problem Solved.

S@H has a 100MB pipe to D/L work. If we have a load of Short WU's, which we appear to be going through now, the bandwidth becomes sketchy at best. Most of just patiently wait for the WU's to complete their D/L

nobody does. If you are running the advanced view you have a project and tasks tab among several others. click on the projects tab highlight the project you wish to update. click update. wait until BOINC completes the update process. that is all

Okay, well instead of starting another thread, and you seem to know what you're talking about, how come I can't display graphics? I have a couple of tasks done, but the "Display Graphics" button is faded out, and I can't select it. I also can't select tasks currently being worked on. Not surprising. Have any ideas?

You cannot use the display graphics option when you are also crunching work on your GTX550.

Select Running task that is "AstroPulse v6 v6.01" or "SETI@home Enhanced v6.03" (Not v6.10 (cuda_fermi))
Then you can click [Display Graphics] button.


I also can't select tasks currently being worked on.

Why?? (What do you do exactly)

Because it is doing a lot of work.

Actually, the tasks at SETI@Home are moderate in length. CPDN tasks take a week or two on a fast machine, and several months on a slower one.
