Earlier today it was able to download about 20 WUs at a time. It does seem to be able to get more tasks after about 20 minutes, so it is not due to this machine returning too many errored WUs. It still shows a quota of 500/day. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now ID: 294 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I can't seem to get any more than 2 WU's at a time, regardless of the requested days of work I set it at (currently at 0 but I've tried everything from 1 - 10 days) CLICK TO HELP BUILD ID: 295 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Welcome. This 2 WUs at a time just started today. This morning (US Time) I was getting 20 or 30 WUs at a time. My thoughts are that this was implemented to help spread the work around, since someone with a large cache could wipe out hundreds, if not thousands, of these short WUs at one time. But I would like confirmation to my thoughts. I'm running a 0.5 day cache on all my projects, since I am now running more than just SETI, I should always have plenty of work to last me thru any one project's downtime.

That they are currently limiting the amount of WUs given so that everyone can get a chance to crunch. It makes my quad sad since it can only crunch two at a time. Any chance of moving it to 4 at a time? ID: 298 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yeah, I'm trying to spread my computer around to other projects vs all SETI. Edit - It does appear the project ran out of work, I'm getting 'no work from project' messages.
