Some workunits have so much noise in them that they are errored out with the following message: SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated. This happens a lot, and is nothing to worry about. :) Greetings, Speedy67 |

Funny you mentioned this. My recent credit was 6.41, when i do a wu every 2.5 hours. The one thing i am aware of is that the servers send out 3 identical WU to different hosts and average credit. |

This work unit : 4.19 SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated. It basically was a noisy work unit not only for you, but everyone who crunched it. At least you got credit for it :-) Enjoy!!! This is a RFI more than likely, but sharper eyes can delve deeper than mine ;-) |
