Actually, I was concerned about the quoted part of your response too, with the tighter deadlines for some projects. Thanks for your response, Didactylos.

There is NO delay in uploading, it uploads as soon as it finishes. There IS a delay in reporting....which is NOT the same thing!

What Lawrence and Scribe said is perfectly true... normally.

However, since you use a test version that might be worth checking the chronology of events in the Messages log from the Advanced view.
You should see uploads starting immediately after a task completes, and Reporting requests passed later together with requests for new work units in the same transactions. If not, please come back and tell us.

Cheers. Jean.

Sitting back and watching.... there is alpha alpha 6.1.8b I read in a PM and elsewhere the alpha alpha 6.1.10, certainly for Mac, but not involving. Issues with 6.1.xx are for the Berkeley developers forum and specifically aimed at involved 'testers' that go through a program to identify problems. Generally I'd expect 'testers' to know most of the innards and functioning and behaviors. If not, uninstall and use the recommended 5.10.45 of which we do know reasonably well how that's to act.

All that said, the 6 series has an additional RtR (Ready To Report) configuration option which is aimed specifically at those who do things like Deep Freeze i.e a daily clean install of a work partition. That will push out completed work because at the end of the day those systems go 'poof' and delete the whole partition content again. It's a necessity for them, but not appreciated if not running such a set-up. The RtR's will clear in the most efficient manner when BOINC thinks it's time.... those points wont go away, not today or tomorrow.

So until then, when we see WCG announcing a Beta of 6, just don't put it into production.

And, we read too much of the ".... The other Projects have no Delay.... " and other variations. It's pure coincidental. BOINC is BOINC is BOINC and applies the same rules at any project. WCG differs in only about 5 things:

1. It employs SSL/HTTPS secure comms, which to my knowledge no other project does.
2. Extensively uses on-the-fly download and upload file compression to minimize bandwidth usage.
3. Has a Simple View Skin of it's own with WCG icons showing in System Tray when the BOINCMgr GUI is running.
4. Uses member/password when attaching project instead of email/password
5. Does not allow 3rd party BOINC Account Managers to write to the website profiles (yet).
