I managed to receive a small number of robetta tasks on a few PCs and one android
Not enough to last very long - and exhausted already - but a surprise to receive any at all

There have been small intermittent batches for about a week now. The latest one is visibly larger. Gotta keep trying to grab whatever we can!

I took a look at Boincstats and can see you're right - results posted on every one of the last 40 days
I guess I'm just saying it's a shock I received some on several machines as I've had nothing at all on any of them for 25 days

I'm on a roll
One single task snuck through on Saturday morning (woohoo)
15 more tasks arrived 30mins ago - but none more to grab
Only on my main PC, not on any others, but I'm getting luckier

I have posted a While ago, but I don't get any Tasks at all for Rosetta@Home,
I know that's not much Information, but I have BOINC Version 8.2.8 (x64)
do I need some "Add-ons" or something else? Like additional files where I can change the Config and if so - where do i put them?

I got a RXT 4060 Ti GPU and a Ryzen 7 CPU, don't know if that is any Issue?

But if i read you PPL from Time to Time get at least 1 Single lonely Task, there should something working...

You need mostly luck to try and contact the server in the few minutes (seconds?) when a new batch of a few thousand tasks is dropped.

I have a very similar PC - Ryzen 7 5800X & GTX1660Ti - it's certainly not that.
There's a regular flow of very small batches of work - a few thousand per week that get grabbed as soon as they appear - that you have to be very lucky to download any of.
Across 3 locations I have 3 PCs, 1 laptop & 2 phones connected to Rosetta and received nothing for 25 days, but I've been a bit luckier over the last week.
The last time we had a much bigger batch of consistent work was across November & December, but this happens more and more rarely.

Expect to receive nothing at all. Then, when tasks do appear, you'll be a lot happier.
It's a more realistic perspective

New Boinc v8.2.9 for Windows 64-bit, ARM, Mac, Linux & Android from the usual download page
Android isn't available from Google Play, but go to the very bottom of this page and it should download and install just fine

Release notes are here
