LHC@home

LHC@home 1.0 kept running good until these two days. I got tasks but it always shows "Downloading" and in the "Transfers" tab the status are always "Download: pending(or 'retry in')(project backoff: [[countdown from a few hours]])". When the count is over, the countdown restart. If you select them and "Retry Now", they finish immediately and become "Ready to report". Then get new tasks and countdown again.
What are the problems?

Thank you.

ps. intel E3-1230V2, WIN7 x64

I am experiencing the same issue with all my PC, so it does not look like a problem on client side. I guess we could only wait and hopefully confirm resolution.

See the thread next to this called:

The real reason for 1 or 2 second tasks?????


I did some checking and posted about it because I have the same problem..

Thank you. Maybe I didn't say it clearly.
The main problem is I cannot download the tasks. Then, if I press "Retry Now" in "Transfers" tab, they finish immediately.

Yes, same thing here. I hit retry and it doesn't matter if they are 50% or 100% done, they finish instantly exactly like yours... then later, they finish crunching in one second...

I do get some good ones from time to time though... enough to keep a couple boxes busy at least. I get this same problem on the all my boxes.

I just let it go and the BOINC tries to get more and eventually I get enough good ones... but I have well over 500 1 second tasks pending now due to this problem...
