There's lots of coded messages in the event log. A second pair of eyes can see things differently.:D

Hit Project Reset button after selecting WCG in BOINC Manager's if Project Update does not work. If nothing happens, post copy of message log and the content of the project properties screen... all in the Project Tab of BOINC Manager advanced view.

There's also the client_state.xml where there's this section:

<time_stats>
    <on_frac>0.816470</on_frac>
    <connected_frac>0.594517</connected_frac>
    <active_frac>0.999499</active_frac>
    <gpu_active_frac>0.939058</gpu_active_frac>
    <last_update>1325859927.582031</last_update>
</time_stats>
<net_stats>
    <bwup>23159.011045</bwup>
    <avg_up>37488834.472536</avg_up>
    <avg_time_up>1325859931.575195</avg_time_up>
    <bwdown>229837.402746</bwdown>
    <avg_down>44324740.087524</avg_down>
    <avg_time_down>1325858586.651367</avg_time_down>
</net_stats>

Sometimes for reason unknown some of these control variables are corrupted. Plz copy paste them in a reply, again if nothing happens after hitting the buttons as decribed above.

BTB, of course, the same activity menu where network is set has "Run always" selected too. plz confirm.
