Understood! This computer is used almost exclusively for Seti@home, other than some occasional browsing. Strange that I have reported tasks last week. My stats have been flatlined since Jan.: Jim |

The scheduler is back up, you might want to hit Update and see if you can get your work resent, Claggy |

The scheduler is back up, you might want to hit Update and see if you can get your work resent, Did Boinc actually ask for work? What did the Event Log say? Claggy |

The answer was no, Boinc didn't ask for work, because of the scheduler RPC backoff, not sure how to reset that, What are your Cache Settings in days for 'Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least' and '... and up to an additional'? Claggy |

Should download and upload rates be 0? Jim |

Yes, that means there is no limit on the rates. And while at it, untick "disconnect when done", only really of use for folks on very restricted bandwidths who need to carefully control when and how much they transfer.

10 Try setting it to something like 3 + 0.01 for now, and see if you get any work resent, The first setting fulfills the low water mark for your Cache, it also fulfills the 'how many days offline' you're going to be, so any work with short deadlines will be bumped to the front of the que to be done first, like that shortie you completed yesterday, The second setting fulfills the High Water mark for your Cache, Boinc will fill to your Low + High Water marks then wait for the Cache to go under the Low Water mark before asking again, this might be why it won't ask for work at the moment, Claggy |

Done. Still getting scheduler rpc backoff, whatever that means. Jim |

Done. Still getting scheduler rpc backoff, whatever that means. Just leave it alone now, and see if Boinc asks for work by itself, Another thing to try is a later Boinc, Boinc 7.0.34 had some important work fetch changes: client: when we're making a scheduler RPC for a reason other than work fetch, and we're deciding whether to piggyback a work request, skip the checks for hysteresis (buffer < min) and for per-resource backoff time. These checks are there only to limit the rate of RPCs, which is not relevant since we're doing one any. Claggy |

Another week has gone by, and not a single task has been resent, so your Boinc version is still not asking for work, Try installing the latest version, available from this thread: BOINC 7 Change Log and news Claggy |
