Hello, I was just re-setting up an old computer for boinc and added the LHC and Rosetta tasks, but can never seem to actually get any tasks downloaded.

I originally downloaded Boinc + virtual box, then downloaded it without, and have now reinstalled it with virtual box again. It always gives me the communications deferred message even when I set the preferences to no limits on the cpu, gpu, or network.

Not sure what to try next.

Thanks!!

current install with virtual box log:

Best always ask work related problems on the project forums. Because your BOINC seems to work fine, that's what we can help with.
Checking the Rosetta forums I found this thread with a lot of people showing download problems: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=15103&sort_style=&start=80

LHC Sixtrack may not have had tasks available at the time your BOINC requested work, that happens. But also check their forums and server status pages.

Ahh, thank you so much, appreciate the help! Seems to have started up now! :)
