Tried to crunch Asteroids with my small farm regarding the FormularBoinc-Sprint.

All I get is:

All other projects don't have this problem.

While my clients are still trying to unsuccessful download your tasks, these clients have succesfull finished more than 3.500 tasks at SRBase in the same time.

You have a security certificate issue with the project. Either upgrade your client to a newer version or manually download the latest ca-cert.bundle from Boinc and install it

8.0.4 should be okay, a colleague gets work with 8.0.2

I just downloaded the newest version of Boinc
I can't download any tasks also.

Running 7.20.5 and having issues downloading tasks as well...however...I do get a bunch every now and then when I update the project manually. Event log reporting 'Project has no tasks available' more often than not. Just grabbed 18 a few minutes ago and got 9 earlier this morning. Issue likely lies with the server side...especially considering there is some 'big maintenance planned' according to the recent post to the News message board. Cheers.

I have the same problem, with BOINC reporting that no tasks are available for Asteroids@Home. Then a few tasks come in and get completed, after which it's back to "no tasks available".

I remember Universe@Home had the same problem. Every time the server was topped up with tasks, people had difficulty getting tasks until the number of available tasks reduced. So it seems to be a BOINC or server issue; maybe something runs at glacial speed until the number of tasks available on the server has dropped below the number it can cope with in a timely manner. The workaround by the server administrator was to force the BOINC client to make requests for work more often (about once every ten minutes IIRC), but I don't know how that was achieved.

Hurray - I've got my first new tasks in at least 48 hours. My PC is throwing out hot air again !!

Lucky you, Pizzadude! A few minutes ago I got:

11/11/2025 17:19:05 | Asteroids@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
11/11/2025 17:19:05 | Asteroids@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
11/11/2025 17:19:07 | Asteroids@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
11/11/2025 17:19:07 | Asteroids@home | Project has no tasks available
11/11/2025 17:19:07 | Asteroids@home | Project requested delay of 121 seconds

And an Einstein task got download instead.

Two of my hosts managed to snag some tasks late last night, but this morning it's back to:

13/11/2025 08:34:36 | Asteroids@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
13/11/2025 08:34:36 | Asteroids@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
13/11/2025 08:34:38 | Asteroids@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
13/11/2025 08:34:38 | Asteroids@home | Project has no tasks available
13/11/2025 08:34:38 | Asteroids@home | Project requested delay of 121 seconds

This time it was in favour of a task from World Community Grid, which is not exactly in a great state at the moment.

Edit: An hour later, the same host that was reporting the above finally got some Asteroids tasks. Whoopeee!

Good day!
Seeing the same thing on a couple of my machines when there's lots of work available:

watch -n 900 boinccmd --project https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/ update


sous linux mint 22,cette instruction a lancer dans un terminal ou un lanceur permet de demander du travail toutes les 15 minutes.Il suffit de changer le 900 pour modifier l'intervalle de temps.

under linux mint 22, this instruction to be run in a terminal or a launcher allows requesting work every 15 minutes. Just change the 900 to modify the time interval.

la meme chose sous windows.
the same thing under windows,

@echo off
:loop
"C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinccmd.exe" --project https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/ update
timeout /t 900 /nobreak >nul
goto loop

watch -n 3600 'for url in $(boinccmd --get_project_status | grep "master URL" | awk "{print \$3}"); do echo "→ $url"; boinccmd --project "$url" update; done'

tous les projets mise a jour 60 mn,sous linux mint 22
all the projects updated 60 minutes,under linux mint 22.

pour windows J'ai crée un fichier.bat pour lancer l'instruction.
for windows I created a.bat file to launch the instruction
