Couldn't find another thread relating to this issue so started another. I noticed that my account showed I had a WU that was not on my computer. So I investigated the BOINC Manager log for answers. Shortly before midnight (Australian time) on the 23/4/14 my computer tried to download a new work unit. This apparently failed with the message Scheduler Request Failed : HTTP gateway timeout As I never got this WU it will stay on my list for a year before getting resent. Why does the system think it downloaded files when nothing connected and just timed out? Conan |

That's what is classed as a ghost task. It was allocated to your computer in the failed scheduler request sequence. Download of the task's input files is controlled from your end based on the information which would have been in the lost reply. If the project had enabled the resend lost tasks option the task would be resent, but that puts an extra load on the server and the project team decided the overhead was too much.
