Hi I have 15 tasks listed on my account as "in progress", but BOINC manager only shows 2. I can identify those 2 among the 15 in progress tasks Is this normal? What about the other 13 that are not listed in BOINC manager? Michael B. |

Make sure to click "Show all tasks" in BOINC Manager, view, advanced view, Tasks tab. The button will change to "Show active tasks", as it shows the option, not the state it's in. If it shows "Show active tasks" and you still only have two tasks, the rest may be ghosted. This can happen when something goes awry in the connection between the client and the server after you've been appointed the work, and before it's actually sent. Then it's never sent. The project has got a function for this that's sometimes on, called "resend lost tasks", but because that's very database intensive, they don't run it constantly. If it is on and your BOINC contacts the project for more work, you will normally be resent the lost work. |

Thanks. All tasks = Active Tasks on my PC. So the other 13 appear to have "ghosted". Michael B. |
