How do I download Version 5.40. I believe that I haven't received any work units recently because I haven't downloaded the newest version.

BOINC applications download automatically. As soon as you are sent a v5.40 work unit, you will also be sent the 5.40 version of Rosetta. You don't need to do anything other then have an internet connection long enough for it to get downloaded.

Just by looking at your RAC and total credit since joining in October, it would seem either your computer doesn't have much idle time, or you are crunching a number of BOINC projects. This is fine. I'm not criticizing how you wish to use your computer, nor trying to say you should only crunch Rosetta... but when you have a number of projects like that, BOINC has trouble keeping up with all of the various deadlines. To help assure it doesn't have problems meeting the deadlines, it doesn't get work for all of the projects, because it is planning on crunching for another project for a while. It will later shift back to planning some time on Rosetta, and then request work.

You control how much of your idle time goes to each project by the resource share. These are shown in the projects tab of the BOINC manager. You set them in the preferences for each project. BOINC takes the total of all the resource share numbers, and divides this in to the number for each project to get a percentage of time it should spend on each project. So, if you WOULD like to increase the fraction of time you devote to Rosetta, you can simply increase the Rosetta number and all of the others will get divided by a larger denominator and be allocated less time. I'm just trying to say there is no need to update them all if you just want to reduce all other projects equally in order to increase what you commit to Rosetta.

Oh, and once you change the resource share in your preferences, they you need to update to the project from the BOINC Manager in order for the change to take effect. Otherwise, the next time it reports in, the update will occur.

Thanks for crunching Rosetta!
