I just joined this project, and have only received messages that no work is available. Should I detach and move on to another project? |

I just joined this project, and have only received messages that no work is available. Should I detach and move on to another project? You have attached at a bad time. A week ago the project experienced a problem with a component of the BOINC server-side software. This component handles telling the work generator that new work is needed as well as marks completed work as needing to be resent or validated. Since the component (the Transitioner) is down, until such time as the project corrects the problem (I'm wondering if a simple reboot wouldn't fix it), then no work will be generated and no work will be validated... You could stay attached here and BOINC will automatically poll the project and if there are tasks available, it will attempt to download them...

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, BOINC polls the project for work every 3 minutes or so. I will just detach and check back in another week. |

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, BOINC polls the project for work No need to detach: just go to the "projects" page in the BOINC manager, select Cosmology and click on "no new tasks". You can "allow new tasks" when units become available again. In the mean time, your other projects will take up the slack. |
