I have finally discovered why Boinctasks tends to stall (in discussion with Boinc programmer Vitalii Koshura).  It's the fault of AVG, the virus checker!  This running on all my computers with Boinc, it interferes and keeps scanning the files for Boinc when it doesn't need to (I've complained to AVG).  Hence Boinc does not respond in a timely fashion to Boinctasks.  I fixed it by creating exceptions in AVG to not touch files in c:\program files\boinc and c:\programdata\boinc

What's the story with me getting the message with cpdn when I wasn't creating an account I was just attaching a new host.  This sounds to me as though cpdn is sending the legal notice out again when it shouldn't be.

Most projects have this notice, I just forgot to implement it...
It probably has to do with European data protection laws.

But I only get the problem with CPDN - I assume with other projects it only occurs when setting up a new account.  CPDN for some reason send it out again when simply detaching and reattaching a project!

And yes, it's always Europe's fault.  What they do is screwing up the rest of the world - eg. cookie notices and daytime headlights!  The UK where I live left the EU but we're still living with the aftermath, and from what friends in the US have said, cookie notices pollute the internet over there too!

I only seem to get this with CPDN - I have to click agree on a legal notice when I add the project with Boinc Manager.  But Boinctasks gives an error.  I complained to Boinc and CPDN and they say it's part of the Boinc API (I think they said API) and point blank refuse to remove the stupid legal notice, saying it's up to Boinctasks to deal with it.  Even Glenn Carver of CPDN said it was your fault, after admitting he uses Boinctasks himself!  Is there any way you can get Boinc tasks to manage this notice?  Preferably by auto-agreeing, or if you insist, displaying the notice so we can click agree?

I see you came back with a sudden flurry of responses, have you been on a nice holiday?

Thanks, I'll give it a go one day.  Busy with the new property just now!

I was worried about thermal stresses.  I've stopped using tthrottle and just allowed the CPU to throttle itself.  the Reason I was avoiding this is that particular laptop only throttles at 100 or 50% and nothing in between so it's not doing as much as it could be

[slaps self in face]  I didn't see that in there.  Sorry.

thanks very much!  I assume this will be in the next beta.  When is it out?

Pah!  A MS limitation, I should have guessed.  I might change over to JS if it annoys me enough.  What functions would I lose out on?  I think I read the original Boinctasks has more functions?

On an old laptop (Intel core i3 M350 4 core CPU), Tthrottle is showing temperatures fluctuating between 70 and 84C in the space of half a second.  Is this normal?  If a part of a CPU was really changing temperature that fast surely it would fall to pieces with thermal stresses?

Here is the output from MSI Afterburner showing the 5 sensors, CPU and core1-4, and the CPU usage.



Isn't this very bad for the CPU?  For now I've turned tthrottle off, and look what happens:



I don't even understand what's happening, surely without throttling, doing more work, it should be hotter now?!

Please add the column for project priority in the task list.

At the moment to copy a project URL I have to copy the whole set of properties, paste it into notepad, then extract the address only.

How do I get boinctasks to use dark mode?

It's only doing it when playing a game through Bluestacks Android emulator.  Must be something to do with it grabbing the GPU?  I diable Boinc and Folding when running the game.  But Boinctasks is showing the other computers running.
