REQUEST 0 SECONDS OF WORK

(moderation:
WHY DOES MY EINSTEIN (NOT SETI NOR PROTEIN) ASK FOR 0 SECONDS OF NEW WORK WHEN MANUALLY ASKED TO UPDATE?
I DONT HAVE MY COMPUTER CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET CONTINUOUSLY.
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE IT REQUEST MORE THAN ZERO (0) SECONDS??
THKS FOR IDEAS

Hello Louis!
It's caused by the long term debt, and if Einstein is considered by Boinc to have done enough lately, and the other projects have to have it's share for the next time, that's wor as designed. Einstein is likely to be a candidate for this behaviour, as it's short deadlines and long crunchtimes force Boinc more often in "panic mode" (crunch imediately, because deadline looms). Afterwards it's given some time to relax.
The time share is no longer a strict daily quota since introduction of this feature.
You have two possibilities to overcome this from resulting in getting no WUs:
1. Get your value for "Connect to network every...days" in the preferences up to some days, resulting in a bigger WU - cache.
2. Only in emergency! Reset the project. Everything not yet crunched or reported will get lost, so don't do it while some WUs are still sitting in there. But the long term debt will get lost as well.
BTW:
Try to avoid writing only in capitals, as it's considered as shouting in fora.

A request for 0 seconde of
)
A request for 0 seconde of work means one of three things:
The computer has too much work on hand already to meet deadlines reliably.
The project has enough work on hand, and the computer is not desperate for work.
The project has used too much CPU time for its resource share recently and is blocked from requesting more for a while.
In all of these cases, the best thing to do is to leave it alone, and it will fetch more work when it is ready.

I'm getting this as well, but with all 5 of the projects I'm working on. My computer is always connected, and when I manually update, I get what I pasted below. What am I doing wrong?

Please see this post and see if you can figure out which case it might fall into.

RE: Please see this post

I did read that post, and was unsure that my situation would fall into that, seeing as that all 5 of my projects aren't sending me work.
Thanks for the network

Thanks for the network tip.
Seti >> is not sending work.
ProteinPredictorAtHome >> is not sending out work.
climateprediction >> is still working (but it is hard to tell if new units are being sent out) but only on my single CPU machine
Einstein >> is the only one not sending work that claims to be working
LHC >> working and now the only work units on my Dual CPU machine.
RE: A request for 0 seconde

that is silly... this usually happens because seti is down and YOU WANT EINSTEIN TO DO MORE WORK THEN IT'S ALOCATED PERCENTAGE. I would like to request that boinc redo the code to check that the client is having problems downloading the other projects and then override its resource share.
RE: RE: A request for 0
)
The client will override the resource shares. If there is less that connect every X days of work left, it will retrieve work from projects with a positive debt that already have enough work on hand. If a CPU runs dry, the CPU scheduler will get work from any project that is contactable.

ProteinPredictorAtHome is now sendig data.
Einstein is still NOT sending data out.
There's a LOT of shouting

There's a LOT of shouting going on in this thread! :) anyway, think this thread, "Boinc 4.45" and "No work sent..." are all about the same thing(s). I've 'reset' my E@H project (with no work in queue of course) and will check again tomorrow. Also, I'm going to reevaluate having multiple projects in all different mixes on different computers and go back to one project per computer. My life was a little easier that way! Just my 1.75639277 cents worth ... (which is worth 1.71 credits, on average)
