I managed to receive a small number of robetta tasks on a few PCs and one android
Not enough to last very long - and exhausted already - but a surprise to receive any at all

There have been small intermittent batches for about a week now. The latest one is visibly larger. Gotta keep trying to grab whatever we can!

I took a look at Boincstats and can see you're right - results posted on every one of the last 40 days
I guess I'm just saying it's a shock I received some on several machines as I've had nothing at all on any of them for 25 days

I'm on a roll
One single task snuck through on Saturday morning (woohoo)
15 more tasks arrived 30mins ago - but none more to grab
Only on my main PC, not on any others, but I'm getting luckier

I have posted a While ago, but I don't get any Tasks at all for Rosetta@Home,
I know that's not much Information, but I have BOINC Version 8.2.8 (x64)
do I need some "Add-ons" or something else? Like additional files where I can change the Config and if so - where do i put them?

I got a RXT 4060 Ti GPU and a Ryzen 7 CPU, don't know if that is any Issue?

But if i read you PPL from Time to Time get at least 1 Single lonely Task, there should something working...

You need mostly luck to try and contact the server in the few minutes (seconds?) when a new batch of a few thousand tasks is dropped.

I have a very similar PC - Ryzen 7 5800X & GTX1660Ti - it's certainly not that.
There's a regular flow of very small batches of work - a few thousand per week that get grabbed as soon as they appear - that you have to be very lucky to download any of.
Across 3 locations I have 3 PCs, 1 laptop & 2 phones connected to Rosetta and received nothing for 25 days, but I've been a bit luckier over the last week.
The last time we had a much bigger batch of consistent work was across November & December, but this happens more and more rarely.

Expect to receive nothing at all. Then, when tasks do appear, you'll be a lot happier.
It's a more realistic perspective

New Boinc v8.2.9 for Windows 64-bit, ARM, Mac, Linux & Android from the usual download page
Android isn't available from Google Play, but go to the very bottom of this page and it should download and install just fine

Release notes are here

You are 100% on target expect little and anything will be just fine... I went the longest time with no tasks on any system and figured that it was a timing issue. When my systems needed CPU work the project had no available tasks and vice verses when the Project has tasks my systems were not asking for work.

I finally got two small batches on my Primary system and was surprised about four days later one of my smaller systems got 11 tasks ,,,, I can't remember when it last received a Task.

So any work is Good work

In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
There was no expiration date.

Whatever PC I'm on I try a few manual updates through the day and I can't recall finding any tasks for months
Weirdly, whenever I look at my other devices, I'm finding they're picking up tasks of their own accord
When I look at my credits over the last 60 days across my 5 devices I'm getting something on 6 of the last 10 days, but with 400-800 credits per 12hr task I can see it's only ever bits and pieces. That's just where we are.
On the plus side our new work PC got its first Rosetta tasks recently (different User name) and I was pleased to see it getting 1200 credits/task (Ryzen 5 9600X)

Whatever PC I'm on I try a few manual updates through the day

I run a job in the crontab to do this. If you'd like I could send you the scripts (bash) that I use, in a private message.

Thanks Bill, but I only run Windows, I have no idea what a crontab is and otherwise I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to running scripts etc
I can see what it's doing and why it would be a benefit, but it's best not to give people like me the power to do stuff like that
I know my limitations...
Clicking the Update button whenever I remember is good enough - err... even though it's never worked for me...

Then put this .bat script in autorun

cd c:\Program Files\BOINC
:loop

TIMEOUT /T 600
boinccmd.exe --project https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ update

goto loop

You can change 600(10 minutes) to something else.

Then put this .bat script in autorun

I know you all mean well, but I'm not ready for this and I'm already being extremely stupid about something else, using Grok to help me repair some fairly deep-seated Windows corruption, using commands I have literally no understanding of.
Earlier this afternoon I came really close to disabling the entirety of my main PC and only escaped from doing so by pure guesswork
The only thing worse than an idiot like me is having delusions it'll be better next time if I just keep going - also like me
Some very small things are apparently improving and getting fixed, but only at the further risk of taking everything down
I'm currently taking a break from being as dumb as this, before my delusions inevitably overtake me again sometime soon
Getting a few extra Rosetta tasks is currently far lower on my priority lists
Pray for me...

On the plus side, for the first time I can recall, I got Rosetta tasks after a manual update. Repeatedly over a few minutes and successfully on my main PC, laptop and one of my 2 phones.
One of my 2 remote PCs was also successful - one of them on 2 occasions over the last 8 hours.
I'm in luck today.
On my PC corruption repairs guided by Grok, I detailed the problems I had during the process and I'm now progressing well using far less aggressive commands, so that seems to be progressing much more safely, both for my PC and for my own sanity/general health.
This counts as a good day all round, though I'm getting nothing else done at all.
Tbf the problems have been lingering for months and it deserves some dedicated time.
