When there is nothing to process then comes the unavailability to upload.

I don't understand why the client software is trying to upload a workunit that's at 0% complete, when there's no error. Are you overclocking at all?

The "transfer failed" could mean several different things, but most likely it's related to the fact that the servers are currently flooded due to the massive rise in the number of new Folding@home users. Everyone is eager to help out with the COVID-19 projects, and project 11749 is one of them. The client software will periodically keep retrying and it should upload in time.

It's two different work units. If you look carefully, it's folding WU01, but sending WU00. That is normal operations for the client. Agree that there isn't much to be done about this - it will keep trying to upload periodically. (I also have a WU that's been trying to upload since last night.)

If the work unit never manages to upload, the client will delete it automatically once it gets past its expiration date. I've had that happen in rare cases, again not much you can do about it. The servers will see that the WU never got returned and put it back in the queue to be sent out.

There seems to be a specific issue with WU 11758 and servers 213 and 214, though the project owner/managers are notified and probably working on fixing it: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32492&start=45
