    Joined and I have one work unit crunching, will see how it goes!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    Been getting a few tasks here and there... but it seems I got to keep poking it constantly or otherwise boinc won't fetch more tasks on it's own... not sure why...

    I am observing the same behaviour.
    It appears that there is less supply than demand.
    This means that due to the distribution of OSs, my linux boxen are getting more work than the Win boxes.
    But, yeah, I'm having to poke them all continually to get any work.

    It seems to be ticking-over nicely on all boxen now without intervention.
    Hopefully you see the same.

    One thing I do notice is that when this project is enabled on a Windows box and it is communicating with the server I frequently get the message "BOINC couldn't do Internet communication ..." yadayadayada...
    It is always wrong because the projects are updating but something to do with this project is triggering the message.
    It is only happening on the windows machines.
    Do you see this too?

    I posted the same question in their forum.

    Your not special it is working here too... That message of not seeing the internet connection has disappeared now, it was annoying.

    Yeah I was getting that message too on Windows machines. I thought it was triggered by not having enough RAM available. I see it lots on the machines running NFS and BURP.

    Someone else replied on the project forum confirming this as well.
    He suspects that the project client app is hogging the TCP/IP stack.
    I see no reason to disagree.

    If it starts getting in the way of things I may choose to suspend it to get 'normal' things done.

    I had been wondering if it was interfering with the Windows QoS service on my LAN, but I'm satisfied with the current answer.
