Sid,

No Rosetta stuck atm on my Ubuntu/Linux box.

WCG started downloading again.

The only idea(s) I have would be a completely fresh install of your Windows OS after backing up all your data.

And/or a Rosetta project reset?

I'm definitely not doing a Windows OS reset.
Maybe I need to, but I'm not going to.

I've aborted all waiting tasks and reset project Rosetta. Again.
The Masterfile download succeeded.

I have already checked and rechecked my hosts file and it's definitely set up ok and in the right location and with no extension.
And I've worked my way through every setting I can find in Norton and double-checked that directories are whitelisted and that boinc and boincmgr are allowed.

Now I'm waiting to see if any task will come down successfully. Maybe by morning.

Seemed to me that People with Windows machines are unable to complete the downloading of tasks. Certainly was my experience.

Someone suggested earlier that Windows 10 computers are particularly vulnerable, though I have 2 remote W10 PCs that are running fine and a W11 laptop that's fine too.
It's just weird.

I currently have 14 completed rosetta tasks (10mrredo_10_hallucinated) that won't upload, showing status pending project backoff. I also have 7 new rosetta tasks (beta 6.06) that are stuck downloading and approaching the task deadline.

Fat lot of good that did...

When I had a series of tasks (from WCG instead of Rosetta) that didn't upload, I finally enabled GPU tasks from PrimeGrid. Once some GPU tasks were downloaded and the BOINC hold on connecting to WCG expired, those over 40 tasks from WCG finally uploaded. It's far from obvious why this helped.

It happened that the WCG task finally uploaded because WCG had "server unavailable" issues again and they fixed the problems (for now).
