GPUgrid website is badly in need of maintenance. Toni has acknowledged this, but all effort are on the project at the moment.
Without TLS, this site is open to malicious activity.

Yet this is strange. All the website should be https ready. Maybe it's an hardcoded URL in the client?

Yes, this is true. If you try to join the project from the BOINC client, the menu choice offers up an http:// URL which fails.

You have to manually enter the project URL with a https:// address.

Then you can successfully connect and join the project.

There are a lot of old hardcoded project URL's in the client that need to be updated.

https URL must be updated on client/manager side by BOINC-devs or GPUGrid site must be redirect to https on server side

I am getting this message again: "03/22/2020 8:00:11 PM | GPUGRID | [error] Error reported by file upload server: Server is out of disk space". The irony of this situation is that there is still plenty of WUs to crunch, but nobody can get any of them, so how about waiving the 2 WUs per GPU limit when this happens, so we can crunch, while you work to fix the problem.

I can manually go to https site, and it works fine.

Probably have not set the auto redirection of http requests to https. This is a setting on your web server.

For Apache, an edit to the .htaccess file can fix this.
