No, the Americans scale back in the summer, too - aircon is so expensive these days.

I see you repeating this 50 quota thing
Retsof, but afaik it's 50 per core (or was it 30 as knreed has typed both values recently). With 16 core default thats like 480 or 800 per computer.... better make a bug report.

And thanks to Dave's tip-off on LogMeIn, my 3 month vacation up in the mountains allows remote checking and running. The lady who waters the house-plants has been instructed on hitting the reset button in case an emergency call has to be made (yeah right, that thing goes off at 41C outside temp). :D

These are single core computers. No duals or quatros here yet. Each one gets 50 max.

These are all clean workunits with no errors. Once in awhile, the mix is such that it will not download work until the queue is totally empty. When this happens, it had skipped downloading for a couple of days. My queue is 3.5 days. It then is easy to download 10 workunits at a time until it hits 50. The fastest GC I have seen here on the AMD 2.4GHz computer/cores is 27 minutes. Most of them vary between 35 minutes and 70 minutes or so. The same type of GC workunits on the 0.5GHz Pentium III are taking between 3 hours and 6 hours...(no danger of doing 50/day there). With 3 fast computers and one slow one, I am doing nowhere near 150/day.
