Could somebody please have a look at this host

792074

I thought there is a daily WU quota of 100?
Counting the wu this host has downloaded today, I'm at 140!
Any thoughts?

I suspect a quota of 100, may mean "no limit".

What did you do to download so many at once? Push your buffer setting up to a bunch of days?

Errr, my bad. 100/day per CPU

But this hosts looks odd anyway. It will never return these lots of wu in time.
I'm counting 1415 "new" wu so far.

well if it is 100 WU per CPU (up to 4 CPU's) per day ... that calculates out to 3.5 days of work. Assumeing time to complete is still throwing out erronious times that means that the cache or days of work amount is most likely set to 10 days.

I also make it 1415 WU's to do.

I also see the Hosts time to finish a Wu is just under 11,000 seconds, 3 (ish) hours.

1415 @ 3 hours is 4245 hours, or 176 days.
If it's a dual CPU PC with HT, that's still 44 days till the most recent DLed WU is done.

Perhaps someone with better math skills than meneeds to have a look at it, and explain how it will report in time, as I can't get it to come out with the PC getting the work back in time.

Have we found an "orphan file creator"?

[font='courier,courier new']IIRC someone said that the max WU/day is based on the average crunch time over the user's crunching history. Faster processors would allow the user's limit to be raised as time goes by.

Then again, it's 2AM here, it's been a looooong day in the city, and I'm about to zonk out, so my memory is kinda shot.[/font]

The max on this project is 100 per CPU. Any error result reduces that number by 1. A sucessful result doubles the host's quota until it hits the project max.

ps. sorry about the sig...it should shorten itself in a couple of days.

That unit is within the 100/cpu/day. I counted 200 downloaded on the 20th, 200 on the 19th, etc.
How and whether it'll return them on time and validatable is another question entirely.

[font='courier,courier new']I thought that RAC and the WU/day cap were related.
