I am running version 5.8.18 and the only problems I have had with WU's is one machine ran up against a 400/day limit one time. That was just on one machine, the others could still download wu's. The only other problem is the servers running out of wu's to send.
I have the same problem Aquajoe, my fastest 3 machines only get 4 WU's a day, while my slowest machines get all they want. Whats up with this crazy project?
Maybe this can explain the problem:
I got this from boincstats:
Proteins@home Alpha
It´s a alpha project!
It has progressed to Beta.
I have my system set to connect to Server set at .1 days and the extended to capture up to 4 days. Of this the total of work units currently in my task load is 10. but as soon as two are complete they are reported and 2 more download to fill there place. So an endless stream of work units seems to be available no matter what you set it at, they keep flowing, At least in my viewpoint, Sorry mitchellds that your having such a hard time.
Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
…Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...
Guess that there are not going to be mega-flushes on the 1st day of contest on this project.
