(moderation:
Now I really had it! First this stupid setting of 1 week deadline for WU completition (way too low! - SETI has a deadline of 2 weeks even when their WUs finish in 1/3 of time needed for Einstein WU) and second, i had a WU wich was completed on time, but... See it for yourself:

... and from my log file:

Well when I updated project, it seems that my result was accepted afterall...
1. The project is till in the
)
1. The project is till in the beta testing phase. Once it gets fully open (not to alimited number of people), the deadline will be increased. Shorter deadline helps to track errors easier.
2. The workunit completion is in two steps: first, unit data is uploaded to server, second, which takes part only when result files are uploaded, is reporting thw WU to server. The second part happens when you press "Update" or when BOINC communicates to the server automatically (it tries to do that when it needs more work, or the deadlines are near).
Hope it helps.

Good!
I've done a lot of work on the scheduler recently. This should help to ensure that your machine does not get more work than it can do before the deadline.
