2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Two tasks allocated, but only one task availiable in BOINC (Message 42378) Posted 8 Jun 2011 by old_user647815 Post: Hi guys, Recently I passed through the problem of trying to get a new task, what I'm sure that many other people experienced recently. I was lucky enough to be given a new task, it finally finished downloading the files and now its running as usual. Unfortunately, when I look at the tasks assigned to me I can see 2 tasks in progress. However, in BOINC there is only one task availiable. I think there was a download attempt for a task but it failed, and disapeared from the transfer window before getting the new task. Now my question is: Do I need to do something to release this task, to order to free it up for another less lucky participant? Or will this happen automatically some time in the future? If this is something that I should do, is there a way of doing this without disturbing the task currently being run? The two tasks: 12938731 12206020 Cheers! Karl
