Boinc hasn't downloaded any new work since the end of september.

I am of course a novice, but I have had no problems with the app until now.

I've briefly scanned the message boards, but as far as I can tell there have been no changes in routines since then.

I've checked my settings. Nothings changed.

Any ideas on why this has happened?

Maybe you have an old app_info.xml for the S5R2 application, which blocks the new S5R3 application.

Hi!

You should have a message from the BOINC scheduler in your "Messages" tab of Boinc Manager:

"No disk space (YOU must free 2550.3 MB before BOINC gets space). Review preferences for minimum disk free space allowed. "

This means that you have instructed BOINC via the preferenecs settings to downbload new work only if this leaves a certain amount of free disk space on your Mac, but you are now well below this threshold. Either reduce the free disk space settings or free some more space (at least 2.6 GB in your case) on your Mac, and BOINC will be able to download more Einstein@Home tasks.

Happy Crunching
