Results not being uploaded

(moderation:
My machine finished several tasks (h1_0042...S6BucketA....) and tried to upload their results. But the Einstein@home server does not get or accept them. My Boinc client is complaining:
"Hochladen pausiert, Projektverzögerung " which could read in english "Upload pending, project backoff, "
The matching line in the client's event log is: "Temporarily failed upload of : HTTP error"
This error message is hardly to believe. All our computers are constantly connected to the internet. Another proof: The client does get new tasks, it does upload gamma ray search tasks, but it cannot upload GW tasks? A mystery.
What is to be done? Nothing, being patient?

Was steht im 'BOINC Event log'?

Tut mir leid, Gundolf, unsere Posts haben sich gerade überschnitten. Habe es dir gerade geschrieben:
"Temporarily failed upload: HTTP error"
Unverständlich ist mir, dass anscheinend nur die GW-Ergebnisse nicht hochgeladen werden. Der gleiche Fehler kam schon früher vor. Damals habe ich mehrere Tage gewartet in der Hoffnung, der Client werde schon eine Gelegenheit finden, seine Ergebnisse hochzuladen. Nachdem ich länger gewartet und auch den Rechner neu gebootet hatte, entschloss ich mich den "Zurücksetzen"-Knopf zu drücken und Einstein@home als Projekt in BOINC neu einzubinden. Die verlorenen Credit points sind mir da nicht so wichtig. Hauptsache wäre, dass E@H richtig läuft.
Jetzt möchte ich nicht noch mal den Resetknopf drücken, denn diesmal wäre es schade, eine ganze Reihe von GW-Ergebnissen nochmals wegzuschmeißen.

(Danke, dass du auf deutsch antwortest. Ich weiß, deutschsprachige Konversation hat man in einem internationalen Forum nicht so gerne, aber auf deutsch geht's halt viel viel einfacher für mich. Wenn der Fehler nur mein spezielles Problem sein sollte, dann macht es auch nicht so viel, dass manches in "Geheimsprache" geschrieben ist.)

Sorry, I just noticed, a very similar question has already been asked in december, see
http://einsteinathome.org/node/196094&nowrap=true#115244.
The next thing I'll try, is to follow the hints given there. If they dont't help, I'll ask again.

I found two files
)
I found two files ("h1_0442.30_S6GC1__1941_S6BucketA_3_0", "h1_0442.30_S6GC1__1785_S6BucketA_1_0" sic without extension) in E@h's subfolder "einstein.phys.uwm.edu", each one 101 kB long. They didn't exist while the E@h client was working on these tasks. Are these files result files?
Because I was confused somehow what to do, I decided to deinstall the Boinc software and wipe all remnants of Boinc off the hard drive totally in order to start Boinc and its E@h plug-ins from scratch. (But I forgot to search the Windows registry for keys concerning Boinc.) Then I reinstalled Boinc along with E@h's plug-ins again.
My hope was to have Boinc now in a virgin, hassle free state. But E@h's server noticed somehow my computer being the same as before, and accordingly gave it the same ID as it had before. (How could the server find this out? I thought of having wiped out everything that could have reminded the server of the previous installation.) Consequently my Boinc client got exactly the same GW tasks as it got before and which I hoped to get rid of. Now the story was repeating. Both files I mentioned above were generated once again after the tasks had been finished. The tasks' results could not be uploaded as they couldn't before.
Since GW tasks are running out in a few days, I think it's not worth taking great efforts to find the bug behind it all. So I told my E@h client to cancel working on these tasks any further. I hope someone else will be more lucky with these.
Is there a way to tell E@h's server my client will never finish these tasks? I know, after two weeks or so these tasks will expire and they will be sent to someone else automatically. I only would like to avoid any delays in GW data crunching.

Did you delete the BOINC Data

Did you delete the BOINC Data directory as well? If not, that's where Einstein gets the information about your computer from.
I'm quite sure I did, in
)
I'm quite sure I did, in order to delete both result files.
My next step was to search for these file names in "client_state.xml" and its backup file "client_state_prev.xml", I found them twice: once in a key entry and a second time in a key entry .
After having deleted both keys and restarted BOINC, BOINC is working quite normally up to now. Let's see, what will happen, when the next task finishes and needs to be uploaded.
