Never seen this before on any BOINC client since inception. I run the SHA-1 Collision Search. The WU's are small and take 30 mins. to complete (I have a quad core so I am completing one on average every 7.5 mins.)

Here's a sample of my BOINC logs:

And this persists. I stopped and restarted the client and no change. Is this by design? It can't be good for small projects with small WU's like SHA-1 as this will be a significant increase in the burden on the scheduler (and this project is unstable enough!) I notice it's now down:

15/03/2008 8:35:49 PM|SHA-1 Collision Search Graz|Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error

I wonder if this has something to do with it.

What was the deadline on those tasks? Were they in their last 24 hours, by chance?

Could be like someone discovered that new flag to force reporting ;?

"To report completed tasks."

Could be, but that one waits a minute, not a second.

Well, not quite.... here it goes likes a few seconds after the uploading converts to 'Ready to Report'

Ah yes, I see. I got a Malaria reporting 5 seconds after the upload finished. Hmm, I really thought there was a 1 minute wait for this flag.

Just for fun, can you post the contents of your cc_config.xml file, please?

Please help. As soon as I upgraded to BOINC 5.10.45, I stopped receiving WU and all of the completed 'Ready to Report' were stuck in my computer. This was consistent with Windows, OS/X and Linux clients. I downgraded the Linux back to 5.10.28 and started to behave correctly. Below are the messages I get from the client. Any ideas or tweeks to make work?

Are you behind a proxy or firewall server?

Yes, I am behind a firewall. I have a UTM box but this has never caused any problem.

That's probably it... SHA-1 has always had a too-low deadline (which many have complained about) so even though I only cache a day's worth of WU's they still run as "High Priority" so the client is reporting then immediately so that they don't go over the deadline.
