I can't receive work from seti, althought i have made an 'update' and the comms are working, no work has been sent from seti server. I have received work from other boinc projects though! what can i do?
I'm running a P4 HT with 1GB ram and w xp sp2

A request for 0 second of work means one of three things:

The computer has too much work on hand already to meet deadlines reliably.

The project has enough work on hand, and the computer is not desperate for work.

The project has used too much CPU time for its resource share recently and is blocked from requesting more for a while.

In all of these cases, the best thing to do is to leave it alone, and it will fetch more work when it is ready.

4.45 had a bug where work that was completed and not reported yet (still in the list) was counted as in progress (and sometimes would prevent work download). If this occurs, force a report of the work in question, and the problem should be fixed.

This particular bug is supposed to be fixed in 4.72 and later.

JimK suspects the same that I do: It's probably not the server which doesn't want to send work, but your system does not request more work.

But to be sure it could be interesting to see the messages you have in 'messages' tab. Just copy/paste them in here.
