Flood of workunits at Pirates

[NeoGen]

There wae a huge flood of workunits coming out from Pirates@Home. More than 9.000 already out and it seems to keep growing a bit more every hour.
My boinc already filled up the buffer (around 300 wu) to the point where it says it can't accept anymore because I wouldn't finish it in time.
Let's get it while it's hot! :)

EDIT: For now, besides me only DMMc got work (80 workunits) Get to work DMMc! :)

Sorry, but I missed out on them. Next time maybe!

Can anyone spare a few CPU cycles for Pirates? To help secure third place?
Work is being sent out and I see X-Beyond The Frontier coming up fast behind us....


EDIT: Too late. They got ahead already. Just wait to see the next stats update...

we are trying neo.
as soon as i read that i got BOINC up and running but it just said nothing, mine has been open for the last 4 hours at least and still got nothing from pirates :(

I am still flooded with pirates workunits since that blitz that filled my buffer with around 300 workunits...
With 82% share on Boinc for pirates I get amazed at the number of times I catch climate and predictor running... it's really strange.
If you want to get some workunits don't leave your boincs standing... do go to them and click on update for the project every few minutes.... I see them throtling out workunits at a steady pace... seems they want to keep between 10 and 12 thousand workunits always in progress...

i got some, left BOINC open last night and this morning i have a load.

[vaughan]

I got some on 3 computers. :hello2:

5:30 pm GMT
They're coming out again. A bit slow paced, but I got a handful already.
If anyone wants some, turn on your boincs and ask for them :)

im just 20mins too late, hopefully i can grab a few though

[vaughan]

I missed out but will try during to the day to snare me some pirates!

[NeoGen]

You didn't miss out on much.. They rolled out a new version of the "Hello" App. I had never seen that app and thought it would be something big, the size of the app files that boinc downloaded to afterwards start crunching was around 6 megabytes
Workunits took 1:30 mins to complete and give out 0.3 credits... with no graphics even.
Must have been just tests on the validator or something...

[NeoGen]

If anyone has boinc on linux or mac os, they rolled out just now a couple of applications for those OS'es... some workunits are coming out.

New pirates workunits coming now. Don't expect much tough... they show only a yellow screen, crunch in less than 30 seconds and award you less than 0.1 credits...:?

[Empty_5oul]

are less than 0.1 even counted on the stats. cause if they round to the nearest .1 you would never actually get any credit no matter hoiw many you did.
