The logs show that your PCs did not ask for work when they contacted E@H today. So BOINC must be thinking that you have enough work from Einstein@Home and/or that other projects should get computing time on your PCs. E.g. SETI@Home had some problems generating work in the past weeks, its possible that E@H got more than its 'fair share' of CPU time and BOINC is now letting SETI@Home 'catch up'.

The same would happen of course if you inadvertently set 'No more work' for the Einstein@Home project.

What do you mean by "no luck on the CPU's."?

I took a look at your two current hosts. On the first one I found around 300 aborted tasks and on the second, I gave up counting when I got to 400 aborted tasks. In the second case, I noticed that tasks had been downloaded and then aborted over a period of days - I saw many tasks dated Jan 3, Jan 5, Jan 6, so I'm really confused about why you think you haven't been getting work??

If you tried to get more work immediately after aborting a whole stack of tasks, the server would probably refuse, telling you that you had already exceeded your daily (heavily reduced) quota. This would persist until you had returned some successful tasks and had restored your quota.

Is there anything we can help you with so that you don't feel the need to abort so many tasks? If you could explain what you're trying to achieve, I'm sure we could offer some suggestions that might help you get there.

Cheers,
Gary.

I´ve found out that if i´m

I´ve found out that if i´m setting the cpu from 4 cores(66,67%usage)to 5 cores (83,34%) or 6 core(100%)i´m not getting more work.
The sheduler log says following

stopping work search - no locality app selected
stopping work search - no locality app selected
stopping work search - no locality app selected

No work is available for Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto search (extended)

No work is available for Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto search

With 4 cores i´m getting work correctly.
Is that perhaps a problem why some people don´t get new work even if the host is reliable?

I am not fully sure about

I am not fully sure about boinc setup but when I was doing fah with the way their setup is you have to use multiple of 2's like 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on but as far as I can tell boinc uses 1 processor per unit unless you change it to run 2 per core. Now as much as I have been reading over the forums what gary said :

Just might be why and you had to wait a while before the server decided to send more...
