The Project has been down for 133 days and no public updates from the Admin or managers have been released to my knowledge.

I have fifty-two WUs for Ramanujan Machine stuck in "Ready to Report" (stuck since mid-October 2025, and clearly long overdue. If I try to update the project (it's in "Won't get new tasks, Will remove when tasks done, Communication deferred xx:xx:xx"), it shows "Server error: feeder not running" in the Event Log.

How can I get rid of these tasks (to clean up the mess in Boinc Manager)?

You can choose to reset the project in Boincmanager. And then detach.
But you will lose all the work for that project.

OK, thanks, that did it. I didn't have much work for the project. I guess I must have had some of the very last WUs that they shipped to us just before it all went south over there.

Remove the project in the Client.
