Just letting everyone know, that it works now... I guess there was no work or something.

I had a similar problem:

climateprediction.net - 2004-08-06 00:19:20 - Message from server: No work available (there was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated)

I went into change my preference on the website (took me ages to find that). Although I had the default allocation of 200GB, its default was not to do work while the computer was in use. I unchecked this, an told the project to 'Update' in the BOINC project window. Now it's busy downloading a new model.

Hi, I.V.,

Carl mentioned in an email sent to Alpha testers a few hours ago (which see) that we can use the same transfer procedures we used earlier (which I did before I received that email), but suggested finishing the runs in Alpha (oops).

HTH.
