Not many/any new posts or replies. Is Asteroids@Home still viable and functioning?

Hello. Mr. Livingstone, I presume?

I noticed the same thing and was wondering like you. I received tasks the first day, on 19th May, but since then nothing and have run out of tasks and nothing new is looming on the horizon. Maybe this is normal and I just have to be patient?

Periods of time with no available tasks are normal for this project. Tasks seem to be released in chunks of ~ 1,000,000 at a time and then it waits until most have been returned. The message board is slow, but not totally dead. The project itself is definitely still chugging along though.

Good morning,
I am Lorenzo Poggi from Italy, I am new!!
I download yesterday the project.
I tried several times to update or reset the project but I do not have any task yet. How is it possible? I am doing something wrong?

Hello Lorenzo!
There are no tasks ready to send on page Server status.
I think we should wait a while for getting new tasks.
