Hi at all,

for about 14 days the calculations are finished, but the computer is not able to upload the reults. I got the following message:

I have time until March 2010, but I really don't want to wait so long.

There is a period of time around midnight UK time, (or just before), when the credits programs run. This uses up all of the servers processing capacity, and people trying to upload files get an internal HTTP error, which is a server problem, not your computer.
After a few hours this clears up, and uploads continue.
If you've been having this for the same file for all of this time, then it's a different problem.

You don't have until 2010 to finish, as this project doesn't have deadlines. The date that you see is because the BOINC software requires one for other projects, and an arbitrary date is chosen a long time in the future to fool it.

But there is a closer deadline which IS fatal: once BOINC starts a zip upload, you only have 14 days to complete that upload. After this, BOINC gives up and deletes the entire work unit.

There may be a problem with your ISP, or your proxy.

PS
Please read this thread in Number crunching. It may explain why your computer can't process the models it's been getting.
You can select / reject the model types in your account preferences.

This is a completely different problem to the one in this thread.
Please read the News and Announcements thread at the top of the Number Crunching section.
