*sigh*As usual with every

*sigh*

As usual with every new app which is coming up here I'm trying to get WUs since days but don't get any at all. All criterias for it seem to be fulfilled (checked test app option, Windows app there, server status show enough WUs), but nothing so far...

Is the testing only for internal purpose or does it need a special CPU requirement again maybe?

You can't be sure there's actually tasks ready to send, the server status page hasn't been updated for days. Other than that, I first couldn't get tasks either. Tasks were really available, other people got them. I got nothing for a week, and I tried every reasonable setting. Then I did something unreasonable, I enabled all three types of GPUs, and got CPU (beta) tasks on the next try. They kept coming when I reverted those settings. Coincidence? Possible, but I rather suspect the Locality Scheduling of doing strange things.

I released the app from Beta

I released the app from Beta test. OSX version still not working, current version deprecated, next version will remain Beta.

Hi everyone! Some WUs error

Hi everyone!

Some WUs error out with 'file size too big' error. This happens for every host. You can view these WUs in my profile.

I haven't gotten any 010D1

I haven't gotten any 010D1 WUs all day on my Win7 64-bit machine. It just says "got 0 new tasks".

I am now running empty on four cores (i7-4771) and will need to find something else.

Me too, though Win 10 on this machine.

Check your project account

Check your project account settings.  AFAIK if you've opted out of any searches in the past you're not automatically included in new ones when they're added.

I've checked that a few

I've checked that a few times. This host already received and completed 37 tasks (last 11 downloaded Oct 29th and returned Oct 31st). Now it's been like sucking an empty milk bottle.

My event log just keeps

My event log just keeps showing "No work is available for Gravitational Wave All-sky search on LIGO O1 Open Data". The Einstein status page showed 185 tasks to send at the time of the event.

I have the impression it has something to do with the "Store at least X days of work" and/or the "Store up to an additional Y days of work" settings in BOINC. I have played with these in the past and finally got work and I wonder if perhaps BOINC thinks that it cannot get these new work units done in the times specified because it hasn't ever done any... (But playing with the settings now is not helping, however.)

??? Well that's strange...

I use this url for the server-status page  and every time I update it it shows other numbers so it can't be true that it isn't updated regularly. Although I'm with you, my experiences in the past often told me the same that the numbers can be wrong.
Since the day I posted first the tasks to send numbers went down, now they're at around 300-400 for the new subproject. Normally at any other project I still would get some when I would ask for work but not here...

Believe me, I'm always doing the same every time a new subproject comes up here but it rarely helps, if at all. Still without any work since O1D1 started... :-\
