BOINC is in perpetual deferred state

(moderation:
[1] The DISK tab shows 0 bytes.
[2] The PROJECTS tab shows "Communication deferred 276:39:01" - TWO-HUNDRED-SEVENTY-SIX HOURS!?!? (RETRY COMMUNICATIONS command droped that to "only" 112+ hrs. ... :/

Okay... so what is the problem? And why would Astropulse have anything to do with Einstein? Astropulse obviously is not going to have any work for you for at _least_ 276 hours. Is Astropulse even compatible with V5?
???????????
RE: Okay... so what is the

I went to EINSTEIN@home, did the download, and installed it... or wasn't "fresh re-install" clear enough? :/
And if don't see any problem, then you can't help.
Thanks for the reply! :)

I fixed the problem. Apparently Astropulse is no longer a project. That was easy enough to figure out. Thanks to all who replied! :)

You said you did a "fresh re-install of BOINC 5.2.13" - this has nothing to do with Einstein, and you certainly didn't download BOINC from the Einstein site - maybe through a link that took you to the BOINC site _from_ Einstein... Then, not a single one of your messages referred to Einstein, only Astropulse.
And I _still_ see no problem - Astropulse was telling you that the master file was not available. That either means the project is down, or it is not V5 compatible. So BOINC backed off 276 hours, after which it would try again. Perfectly normal behavior... and nothing that would stop you from attaching to Einstein. I couldn't tell you that Astropulse was closed, because I've never been part of that project, and wouldn't even know where to look.
RE: RE: I went to

ok, thx! I thought that Astropulse was EINSTEIN since it started it up - not me. Aand you're right - sorry - I didn't do a fresh re-install of 5.2.13, rather I did an uninstall of the old version I had for months, and then an install of the latest version. So sorry - it WASN'T clear on my part.
But it's all working now once I connected to EINSTEIN@home.

Astropulse, as you noticed, is no longer a real and active project. It's a bit on the back burner. Maybe that we'll be testing it next on Seti Beta, once the Seti Enhanced application has been released.
RE: Astropulse, as you
)
I thought SETI was no longer doing new data? If it is going to be doing new data, do you know when (approximately?) the SETI enhanced version will be released?
If it is not going to be working on new data then let me know that as well. I am interested in SAH but only if there is new data. (I quit SAH once I found out we were only "chewing" on previously "chewed" old data and my computations hit 5 or 10 thousand.)
tia!

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu .. that's the link for Seti's homepage in a browser and to attach through BOINC. Although wait for now with that attaching as Berkeley has serious server problems.
Anyway, we've never been given the same work units over and over as in Classic (10 to 50 times). In Seti/BOINC one unit is sent out to 4 PCs, 3 of which must return the result to come to a valid agreement on credits granted. In the past year and a half of Seti through BOINC we may have surpassed what Classic has done in 6 years. (So we wonder why people want that archaic piece of nothing to keep on running, but hey! ;))
When the new enhanced application is coming out? Once we have managed to get it as bug free as possible. It will also be possible to run on PCs with 32MB RAM, which is taking some of the testing as we can't find many PCs out there with less than 64MB of RAM. ;)
But it's been in testing for the past 5 months orso. It's gonna be good. :)
(BOINC will automatically update the science application as long as you run the non-platform independent client .. aka not the optimized version)
