For some reason I am not getting any new Rosetta work and the only thing I can figure out is it has to do with my preference settings. I'm running two projects...SETI and Rosetta. Resource share is 50% for each. Right now SETI's status is set to 'won't get new tasks'...there is no special status for Rosetta. I've run out of Rosetta tasks and they have all been reported so that would tell me I have space for new tasks. Here are my preference settings:

Processor usage

Do work while computer is running on batteries?
(matters only for portable computers) yes
Do work while computer is in use? yes
Do work only between the hours of (no restriction)
Leave applications in memory while suspended?
(suspended applications will consume swap space if 'yes') yes
Switch between applications every
(recommended: 60 minutes) 60 minutes
On multiprocessors, use at most 2 processors
Use at most
Enforced by version 5.6 and greater 100 percent of CPU time
Disk and memory usage
Use at most 50 GB disk space
Leave at least
(Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored) 0.001 GB disk space free
Use at most 85% of total disk space
Write to disk at most every 360 seconds
Use at most 75% of page file (swap space)
Use at most
Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 75% of memory when computer is in use
Use at most
Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 100% of memory when computer is idle
Network usage
Connect to network about every
(determines size of work cache; maximum 10 days) 10 days
Confirm before connecting to Internet?
(matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) no
Disconnect when done?
(matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) yes
Maximum download rate: no limit
Maximum upload rate: no limit
Use network only between the hours of
Enforced by versions 4.46 and greater (no restriction)
Skip image file verification?
Check this ONLY if your Internet provider modifies image files (UMTS does this, for example).
Skipping verification reduces the security of BOINC. no

I know they are a little screwy but I've been trying to trouble shoot on my own with no success. If anyone has any suggestion I sure would appreciate it...thanks!

I don't see anything wrong with your preferences.

See this thread for discussion on why one BOINC project may not request work for a period of time.

Didn't know anything about debts...I think that answers my question. I'll monitor to make sure it changes over the next few days to where things equal out. Thanks for the link!
