2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found (Message 2059991)

I am repeatedly seeing log entries like these:
5:50:45 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
5:50:45 PM | SETI@home | Reporting 1 completed tasks 
5:50:45 PM | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for AMD/ATI GPU
5:50:47 PM | SETI@home | Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found

All of the tasks in BOINC Manager for SETI@home have status = "Uploading", or "Ready to Report".
Meanwhile tasks for Rosetta@home come, execute, and go as expected.
All of the messages with "Finished upload" are for Rosetta@home.

So what is the HTTP file that is missing?

Say.... nice PC. Did you have one "back-in-the-day"?

Yes, my first computer had 8K of RAM. The manual was next to useless.

First thing I programmed on it
10 input "What is your name " a$
20 print "Hello " a$
30 goto 10

Run

Hee hee.
Why not this :
30 goto 20

Since it is the only thing running and using < 12.5% of the CPU, I wonder, is there any way to make it use all 8 CPUs?

No, Seti apps are not multithreaded, so it's only WU/core.


Thanks.
