It seems to me that it's all the Cylon's fault (who won't share with humans). It seems to me that if MW is the only project running it will request work. If say CPDN is also running, at times it won't request any more MW. If I suspend CPDN, MW tasks are almost immediately requested.

On the server side, it appears that we never drop below 300+ available workunits at any given time.

Hm, but since today I'm getting the same on my lappy:

snip

It's sitting idle (only a little FreeHAL WU is running but that's non-cpu intensive so Milkyway does request work but the lappy isn't getting some... )

I also have the same problem with a couple of laptops. Suspending the only other project makes no difference, they are requesting zero MW and downloading zero. But I do see 400 tasks waiting server side and other PCs of mine request tasks and get them eventally, after clicking on 'update' 2 or 4 times.

The funny thing was: my lappy DID request work! (See my logs...)
I've digged a bit to see the older BM logs and I found out that the lappy has been requesting WUs for about 40 minutes before I just right now got new ones finally! ;-)

EDIT: Bad thing is that I can't babysit BOINC on all my 4 puters at home all the times so maybe it has happened before without me noticing. *grin*

And I still tend to think that the newer BOINC versions all sometimes have problems with work fetch in general (in that case the manager doesn't even request new work when the box has run dry) but this was not the case with my lappy today.
Hmmmm... *scratches head* Maybe the server thinks I'm too greedy?

Well I don't know about that, I'm not getting any now, even if I'm asking for it;

23/02/2009 14:54:15|Milkyway@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 1745280 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
23/02/2009 14:54:20|Milkyway@home|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks

But then I get 3 tasks, and suddenly the rest;

23/02/2009 14:55:26|Milkyway@home|Scheduler request succeeded: got 3 new tasks
23/02/2009 14:55:41|Milkyway@home|Scheduler request succeeded: got 21 new tasks
