Fortunately, the long estimated times for HST isn't very accurate. The actual time, for example, for one WU is an hour and 20 minutes while the estimated time for that WU was 36 hours and is now 23 hours.

Allen008, that is exactly the method that I have been using on Windows. Should be the same for Apple. The penalties for suspending and restarting the running tasks is relatively small, so I also don't worry about them. Usually only a few minutes. If you look at the times that your new tasks were sent, they will probably be 3 minutes or 33 minutes after the hour if they are "new" tasks. I have gotten some resends at 9 minutes past the hour but the 3 and 33 are the best time to hunt for tasks. Easy to do. Just go to Boinc Manager, Projects tab, highlight WCG, and a few seconds after 3 or 33 past the hour, hit the update button. If you wait too long, it is too late.

Hopefully it will eventually speed up...
It irks when you have to sit and beg for WUs.
That said I'm waiting for the 33 to try and snag some

EDIT: SUCCESS 7 new work units!!!!

Got a _2 T350 of batch 891 repair, on the lone crunching laptop, so guess we're into the 900+ series now. Nothing much happening in the quantitative... 50 * 2 * 48 = 4800 new units per day, the project showed actually 6490 validations yesterday at under 12 hours average, maybe a little backlog catch-up.

Thanks for tipping, it works somehow (got first2 WU since beginning)
But how you could figure this out?
