Hi all,

Just wanted to say I've noticed I'm not getting any gpu tasks and I think it's due to me abandoning tasks too much.

I've honestly had some PC problems the past couple of days and that's why I've abandoned them.

How can I get the tasks back? I saw on another thread you have to renew your reputation? How can I do so?

I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience and I promise this won't happen again. I know know how it works and now I can avoid this from happening again, thanks all.

That could be the reason for not getting tasks, but now the server is out of work, so you can receive a task only when some other host finish one.
Check the Server status page (the link to it is on the top left of this page).

Be patient.

You can check your host's "reputation" on its page, by clicking the link next to "Applications". According to this, your host's daily quota is 12, and your host has not used it up. If the "Max task per day" shows 1 or 2, your hosts reputation is low and that host will get a new task only on the next day. The only thing you can do is to return a valid task, that will increase the daily quota by 1.

Four abandoned tasks are not that big deal, your host had not been "blacklisted" for this. The reason your host is unable to get tasks is that there is not enough tasks available at the moment. You should see a message from the server in the event log which reads "No tasks are available for Long runs (8-12 hours on fastest card)". Otherwise you should see "This computer has finished a daily quota of ** tasks".
