Am I doing something wrong, Boinc doesnt want to download work units. I thought everything was back to normal. I cant download more than a few hours of work units, I believe I have 4 days of stored work units in the computing preferences.

I've had it with WCG or Boinc. If something comes out of this, I'll just delete this.

Apparently they are having problems with the company hosting their servers, and are working on it, along with SSD upgrades started in Dec. Growing pains since IBM handed it over. No reason to stop helping the World with Science...They will figure it out soon enough. Remember, the work you let your computer do, is helping cure disease and helps with feeding Africans in the Desert. Plus more! Don't let this simple issue stop you from caring about our World. It is not for nothing.

It's nothing of what your doing its the servers.. Since Krembil took over there's been a load of problems that have stopped people crunching back together and whilst I believe they are trying to get everything up and running as best they can, its taking them a little while..

I hope it will get better, but it might just take a bit more time. We've had this issue since they restarted WCG and there's nothing much we can do.. I've been sat there for 15 minutes trying re-try or re-download and sometimes it works, others it doesn't. When I'm at work I can't do much with it, so whatever I do crunch or return points for, is all I do :) I wish there was a fix but aside from waiting, you can just click no new tasks and forget about it for a little while if that's easier or better for you :)
