I thought this behaviour was normal since about V19 beta 2, when I
queried it I was told it had been modified as a result of a request
from Scott Kurowski to update the computer information every time the
client contacts PrimeNet, for whatever reason. Even if you force a
connection without there being a need to communicate results or
update completion dates.
There will not be a prime.spl file in this case (nor if the system
realises during a forced connection that it would like to fetch
another assignment from the server).

Select "Send new completion dates" in the Test/Primenet menu. Or
simply wait for an assignment to finish, or long enough for the
system to want to update the completion dates automatically
(Options/Preferences/Days between, default 28 days)
