I'm running 3.19. I got it installed, got the first packet and it ran great. Now, when it tries to send the results and get another packet, I keep getting this:

Message from Server: No Work Available

Have I set something wrong?

Please do a search on these forums. We've had enough topics on this in the past weeks.

One of my machines is now telling me that it's not downloading work, that there IS work available but I don't have enough disk space allocated. I've got 3.19 gigabytes free on that drive. Two other machines I'm running in the same office each have just over 1 gigabyte available, and they are having no difficulties at all. The upshot is that, I think, most of the problems we're seeing are at the server side of things and hopefully they'll get resolved. Eventually. Sure seems to me like this thing was greenlighted way too early.

Have you allocated more space than you have available?

i found out something just now. my wu list has been empty for about 6 hours now and the scheduler only said that there were no work awailable and kept defering, so i decided to try something out. i shut down boinc and restarted it, then i reset the project (setiathome) and then updated the project and voilà, wu's begins to pour in. i do not know if this is a bug or if it is just a coincidence.
so if "you" are out of wu's then try what i did. if you get wu's then, then we know there is something wrong somewhere.
just some more feedback from me. :) i hope it helps ;)

Sounds like you were in a backoff loop.

Often shutting down the client for 15-20 minutes helps.
