Yes.  Don't interfere, but let "Deferring communication with project for

Good comment, unless you really do know what is happening and can do something about it :)

I'll do that next time, but this is more or less against my principles: I'm donating some CPU time (I have more computers running BOINC), but when one of them for some fuzzy reason decided to go idle, I try to fix this, especially if after some investigation, it turns out there is no real reason to idle...

A fix for the impatient would have been to put the Berkeley scheduler address into your hosts file ("/etc/hosts"), or to update your own local DNS daemon...


Also, you could attach to a second project.

Happy crunchin',
