A good piece of news (sort of);
I unattached myself from Rosetta and then went around all the websites of BOINC projects that I belong to and reset the days between contacting the servers to 3 days on each project. I updated Einstein and Climate on my PC and suddenly BOINC pre-empted Einstein (sorry :) ) and started Climate all by itself, so it looks like my problem was too great an interval period between connections to the servers. Whatever the reason, it seems as tho my issues are sorted. One last comment - when uploading a result I often see 101% in the transfer window !! Possibly this should be adjusted for the next release ?

Just one final note: I am now running Einstein, Rosetta, Seti, Climate and Predictor (LHC are not up-to-date with their website) and have specified connecting to webserver interval as one day. BOINC seems to happily swap between each one. There is a delay each time a project is added to the manager before BOINC will add the project to its routine and in my case this seems to be a day - the connection interval. Obviously the main thing is to avoid large connection intervals in the general preferences or alternatively merely run one project. I suppose if one were to wait the 10 days that I originally specified then the function would be the same - regualr swapping - but realistically speaking 1 day seems fine, and with 5 projects on the go, it is unlikely I will run out of work to crunch...

Gray,
That's good news, indeed! It sound like the manager is settling into a happy routine, and will balance time for all your projects. The 1-day connect-to figure should work well for you.
Thanks for the update.

There is a new user (Donna) who is using 5.2.2. She is having trouble attaching to Einstein. (See this thread: Message boards : Problems and Bug Reports : Trouble Linking Project URL). We made need some help regarding the new 5.2.2 "Attach to project" screens. Michael and I haven't used them yet - since our projects came over with the 4.XX upgrade.

Actually anything over half of the deadline will cause the client to stay in EDF mode. If I had realized you had that large a queue I would have made a stronger recommendation that you reduce it.
