STATUS is listed as UPLOADING, but I keep getting "Upload:retry in [countdown timer] (project backoff: [countdown timer])" where the two countdown timers show different times counting down. Any clues as to a solution? I've tried multiple shutdowns and startups to no avail. Thanks. Scott ID: 9319 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Multiple Apple machines: ARM - Tahoe 26.2 - BOINC 8.2.8 Intel - Monterey 12.7.6 - BOINC 8.2.8 "Upload: pending (project backoff:...)" It seems like these and other machines have not been able to download new work units for the same period. It also seems as though this started around the time the machines were upgraded to BOINC 8.2.8. ID: 9344 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Completed WU uploaded, new WU downloaded smoothly. Suggest trying this to see if it helps anyone else as others have posted. 8.2.8 is a problem child for some of us....

Mac mini M4 Tahoe 26.3.1 Deleted every Boinc file and folder I could find then ran the uninstall tool and rebooted, just to make sure :-) Einstein, NFS and Community Grid, were continuing to work without any problems. Installed from the Boinc website 8.2.4. Asteroids finally running on my computer again. Same problem has been happening on my Intel Mac mini T2 with Sequoia 15.7.4. Hope this helps someone else.
