It looks from reading around, no skill required, that work was canceled on instruction by the servers shortly before shutdown, at least several members posted about it. As it happened, I ran the buffer down to zero and loaded a bunch of fresh tasks just before and took the client off-line. Crunched all through the down time .

That move on the part of WCG probably minimized the amount of open batches that needed moving over their network, though I've not seen any word to confirm this.

Ah I see. I looked at the thread title on this part of the forum. Nothing about aborted units caught my eye. Thanks.
