Hi all,

Has anyone else been having problems with boinc stuck with uploading WU's 
or not switching projects?
I have several seti work units waiting to be sent, and its been stuck on 
uploading since yesterday.
Also, it doesn't seem to be switching to other projects, even though I'm 
running four in total.
I can't see anything wrong with my settings.

Paul

i See two problems being discribed in this thread .
1. Not uploading this can be answered inpart by this link.

2. Not switching between projects.  This AFAIK is caused by project defect 
that are tracked by the moinc manager.  Because one project is down - the 
defect continues to grow to such a large value that when work does finally 
come in boinc will dl so many wu that it overobligates the machine so it 
switches into earlist deadline first mode.  Meaning it will try and complete 
all wu's that may exceed thier deadline first then move onto the other 
projects.  This then propogates the defect on the other project and cycle 
starts all over again.  But eventually it works itself out.
