Just showed completed upload. Didn't even have a delay time to the server like it usually does. I hit the update button and states user request-not requesting new work even though I only have 2 WU's. I went ahead and changed my settings to request work from other projects if no work is available. I will connect shortly when 1 wu is completed and see if I get any more.

Its definately a clitch. With 2 cores working, I should get around 20 work units for 4 days work. Should I reset it?
Randy

My last 2 units finished. Connected with wcg, it uploaded the 2, then downloaded about 2 1/4 days worth. Not the 4 days I have set in my preferences. Ever since I upgraded to 5.8, been seeing lower number of wu's recieved that what I have set in my preferences. I'll let it ride a bit to see if it works itself out.

Ah, 5.8 was bad about that. They reworked things and it behaved a bit strangely. Go to 5.10 and try that. I'm seeing it much better behaved than 5.8. I think they tried to make 5.8 do too much thinking trying to protect the user from themselves. Also, connect to server values beyond 3.0 made 5.8 even worse about getting the expected amount of work you wanted. Drop that and you'll probably get some more work under 5.8. In the history of WCG, outages beyond a few hours are very rare. Actually, outages period (unscheduled that is) are rare. The worst case was the hardware problem in the middle of the blizzard outage back over the Christmas holidays last year or the year before. Even there, a three day work queue was just enough.
