This WUwuid=17095602 only has 2 returns, the rest are late, or show problems. Is this a lost WU that I heard mention of in a previous thread? (forgive the newbie questions, trying to understand the process a little better) It is a sad sad day when someone takes your spoon away from you... |

Look at this at the close of business tomorrow and I'm willing to bet you see the WU being sent to two new hosts. It's not lost. tony |

This WUwuid=17095602 only has 2 returns, the rest are late, or show problems. A "lost" workunit is one that has been pending for over 6 months! Yours is overdue by not even 24 hours!!!! You have just found a situation where 2 people did not return the unit within the 2 week time period and the unit will now be sent out to mroe people in order to get a quorum. |

The referenced workunit has now been granted credit. One of the results was submitted after the deadline but, because credit hadn't yet been granted, it completed the quorum and got credit. If you look at that computer's results you will see examples of late results getting or not getting credit. This person is wasting a lot of his processing time. |
