I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.9.

I haven't seen my BOINC software download any new work units from Rosetta since finishing the last work unit. Though have to admit that I haven't been online for a few days due to the Easter holidays.

More details on the situation.

I am running projects for SETI and Einstein@Home. These projects are running okay, new work units are downloaded after old ones have been reported. This isn't the case with Rosetta@Home.

This is the message log of the last work unit reported.

When I press Update I get the following message but no work unit to process.

I haven't set any download limits for this project or any other project that I know of.

Seeing the message (not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks) confirms that you have some debt to pay back to the other projects. This concept is discussed here.

BOINC will download more work when it has finished it's balancing to meet your resource shares between projects.

[edit] I see you now have a new task download.

Thanks. I was wondering what was going on.

And yes, I have a work unit again. ^_^
