Hi everybody, I'm from France (sorry about my english :P) and I currently crunch MW workunits on several computers.

However, since today (or maybe yesterday), it seems that the estimated time of every WUs is wrong (around 10 min instead of 1 or 2 hours)... Every computer crunching for MW has asked a lot of WUs to the server, thinking it won't be busy enough ^_^
Fortunately they hit the limit, which seems to be 12 WUs, but they're still asking for some WUs...

Hoping it will help, and sorry if this has already been reported

At the moment the download limit is 12 WU's per core, so it's not unusual to see this in your BOINC Manager Messages;
