1) Message boards : Number crunching : Project auto-update (Message 52116) Posted 29 Dec 2011 by Rechenkuenstler Post: To get new task, I always have to click on the update button. It never gets new tasks on it's own. Is there a way to fix that? When you almost run out of tasks Boinc should get new tasks at that point to fill your cache. Boinc does not get one to replace the one you just finished as that is inefficient time usage of the limited number of Server connections. There are a ton of us all trying to connect so making those connections as efficient as possible is key. Boinc also will not auto return your completed units until either you need new work or the deadlines are approx 24 hours away, again to increase Server productivity time. If you are using app_info.xml file, it might occur, that you are running out of work. I had the same problem. Solution: Create a scheduled task, which runs a cmd file e.g every 6 hours. The command file should contain the following command line: C:\Program Files\Boinc\boinccmd.exe --project milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway update The scheduled task then updates milkyway every six hours.
