I just joined today. (I used to be a member about 6 years ago.) My first job is done, I clicked update, but nothing seems to have happened.

Did you attach to Seti?

Did you see on the homepage that from today on there will be a 3 hr outage from 17:00 UTC every day?

My systems seem to only download two workunits. So when the server is down (like today) I rapidly run out of work. What can I do to increase the number of workunits downloaded. I used to run classic with seti-driver and I would juggle 40 WU per computer. If I increase the time between network accesses (currently 0.1 days) I am afraid that I would simply get bigger work units, not more of them.

No you won't. At least at the moment. WUs are all 354 or 364 KB in size.

There are rumors of increasing WU size, so that the servers would not have to deal with as many files as now, but that's not yet the case. And I bet that then as well all WUs would have about the same size.

So the measure you note is just the right one.
