    Are you running any of the QCN family of projects? Those ones wreak havoc with me getting new tasks...

    No, not a one. It only happens with my BU machines. I remember you posting about QCN but I'm seeing it with BU.

    Well, damn. I'm not sure I can be of much help; not running BU on a machine crunching anything else. I just know that the BU NCI WUs play very nicely with other projects.

    Yes, this is because BOINC doesn't know that you have x threads dedicated one project, and y threads dedicated to another. It is not smart enough to know about your app_config.xml's. The best solution I have found is to run BU in the native BOINC, and then run all the rest of your projects in a VM. Each with a wuprop task, of course.
