Hi everyone,

I ran into a problem on two of my boxes which had not yet been repointed to the https version of the project, where their uploads and downloads got stuck in '(Project backoff: retry in ...)' states despite internet connectivity working properly.

Luckily stumbled across this post, and found that, indeed once I upgraded BOINC to the latest version (7.16.7 at the time of writing this), the issue resolved itself.

I guess this just goes to show it's a good idea to update BOINC periodically as new releases come out.
