Hi, I discovered a "new" point in the detail-sides of my computers:

Number of times client has contacted server

I watched, that this is really a big number, for example 1081 contacts, but results only 31.

Isn't this way off as it should be ? For 31 results, I could understand that there are round about 100 contacts and even this seems to be much !

Or is BOINC much like ET: in GERMAN: Nach Hause telefonieren: in INTERNATIONAL: calling home

Uups, this is the machine

Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

If you had download problems or trouble getting work then that number is possible. Otherwise it does sound a bit fishy. My computers have more contacts than workunits also but nothing as extreme you mention.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for pointing this out. It turns out that this actually IS an issue. I will fix it on the server side in the next few days.
