I too, am getting "Communication Deferred" statement. Is it, because I have another computer crunching files for Seti too ? I have not discovered yet, where to find out, how to set-up a group, for myself & all of our computers, to help the Seti@Home cause ?

Based on the suggestion below, I did turn on "skip image file verification" closed, then reopened, but still to no avail ? Any insight would be appreciated. I have a Quad Core sitting idle most of the time, so at least 50% of it can be doing something for the cause..

I still haven't received an answer to my original question. I fully understand how it all works, What I want to know is WHEN will these stuck work unit be deleted from the computers that are no longer running. This needs to go to Matt, I sure there are other stuck work units.

Here Here! I couldn't agree more with each and everything you said. Frustrating and really lacking in clear instructions. SETI @ home used to be so easy. What happened. Now I'm being asked for donations at every turn. No!

Then why was VirtualBox automatically put on my desktop when all I wanted to do was start back up with Seti@home?

Now, with that out of the way, you must have seen that the installer gives you the option to install VirtualBox. You can opt-out for the moment to install VirtualBox. For at a project like Seti, you don't need it.
That's why there's also, still, the --just-- BOINC Installer. Also available from the same website, allows you to just install BOINC.

Turned off "new task" for primabonica. Would guess it will take a while given the number of files currently on hand.

Thanks for the input. It has been a while (years) sense I was up and running, but as I remember all works well when I get it running.

RE: Edit
Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least
(max 10 days). 2 days
... and up to an additional 3 days

I wish that were the answer. Still have not managed to download a SETI task. On the other hand primabonica is running just fine.

Any other preference settings that would have an affect?

thanks.

Suggest:

Case - look at NZXT Switch 810, plenty of internal volume and easy to work in (can also fit water cooling inside if desired).

M/B - try looking at Asus Rampage IV Extreme (will take 4 GPUs).

You can put 4 GPUs on the M/B but air cooling will not work. There is insufficient gap between the GPUs and they get too hot and stop working fairly quickly (I have tried it just to see how long it would take).

cheers

Thank you, but this is a complex issue. I've been to that address, tried to modify. However, without success. Because the client name displayed GPU and CPU tasks are the same, cause I can not distinguish who is who.

All your GPU work is running in about the same time range, as is your CPU work. Of course, CPU work takes 5-10 times longer per unit. Perhaps this is what you're looking at.

For example, here.

(This have to be some 'Behavioral Analysis' or how they call it by Avast or this is specific to Avast v9/2014 and do not happen on Avast v8/2013)

Not using any utilities other then what is DL from the homepage of the various projects. At least I sure don't recall installing any third party utils.

I Made sure to set the options you mentioned. Some were still on no from before. No updated work sent yet. Still just getting communication deferred. Maybe it'll catch something after being set for a bit. Guess it's possible no work is available right now for the new setting to latch onto.
