LHC@home

got boinc 4.51. after completing a lhc workunit, it normaly back off the upload process, when I´m offline. but in this version it tries to upload again and again every second. like this:

This looks like a name resolution problem - not surprising if you're working offline. However, BOINC 4.51 is an alpha test product, so problems are likely. You should report them to the BOINC development team on the site you got the software from, or SETI@Home
