I am experiencing extremely slow download speeds only from World
Community Grid. (5-6k a minute for 30-45 minutes followed by Unable
to process task data. Backing off... message) This has occurred on the last 4 work units I've done and it is now occurring again. I am on a cable modem using Road Runner. Ive checked my speed using www.dslreports.com/stest
and it indicates both upload and download speed is FAST. (665 kbps) This appears to me to be an ongoing problem with the servers at World Community Grid and needs to be fixed. I'll try a few more work units, but I'm really questioning whether it's worth the effort. There doesn't seem to be any official response and I'm getting frustrated.

My system exceeds the "mimimum requirements". I am using Windows 98 SE on a 600 mhz Pentium III using a cable modem. There is nothing else running on the system. My firewall (Computer Associates EZ-Firewall) has been disabled. I've exited and restarted the WC Grid Agent. I've contacted WC Grid Technical support to no avail. I'm considering throwing in the towel if I can't get this problem resolved.

Thanks in advance for any help.
