There's a problem with the certificate chain on the new server.
If you want to get up and going before they get it replaced drop these 2 certs into your machine cert-store.

Nick

for me it is simple: have spare resources: crunch. no spare resources: don't crunch
dedicated UBER RIGS JUST for crunching for "chasing the score" are in my mind not at all what BOINC is all about which is HELPING THE SCIENCE

One of my machines is for me, it does Boinc aswell whenever I'm not playing games. It's on 24/7 anyway for the security cameras.

The other seven I built for Boinc only and sit in the garage. Grabbing second hand and free parts and assembling computers is fun, and of course does a lot of science. They also heat the place, too much usually.

Remember this Project is run by a rotating set of college grad students and one Professor that is very busy doing other things most of the time and who himself has only been doing it for a short time, that means that the institutional knowledge that most projects have is not there at Milky Way. Yes they do okay with what they have but they don't seem to take advantage of the Boinc Forum for Admins either and instead try to figure it out on their own.

I know. That's another reason to simply stop creating new work and let BOINC take care of the tasks in progress.

I just checked the server status page and there are over 1 million separation tasks in progress and over 10k tasks ready to send out. That is also very strange considering it's now the 21st of June. Unless those tasks are re-sends that are needed than why are there over 10k separation tasks ready to send out?

They didn't turn off anything so far, 1.2-1.5 millions in progress is simply normal operation. Just the workunits waiting for validation piling up and now at 1.5 million indicate some issue with the server.
