Why are there no work units available?

I'd say that the Overview & Index is a better page to link to...

This doesn't say why there are no WU's available.

Look at the Top Participants list:
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/top_users.php

The top person on that list has received 8000+ credits in the
past 24 hours. 205,000+ credits in the one month that this
project has been "live".

THAT person has no trouble getting work units, obviously.
Maybe they just save all the units for CERTAIN people?

Since yesterday evening we have distributed over 600,000 results. Thats a six-fold increase in overall system performance from our previous best. Now it looks as though we'll have occasional workunit shortages as we'll have to bring additional splitters online to keep up with demand. It's 8:50pm PDT and we have about 30,000 results in the queue, and we are sending about 1,000 every 10 minutes. Currently the splitters generate 4 workunits per minute which creates 12 results per minute.

read the news on the websiote as it tell you why......

That's OLD news. Today is the 21st of July. Refresh your browser and see the NEW news. It's "back to normal", which apparently means it's up but no-one can get units (except maybe the six people who already have 100,000+ credits).

Why are some of the top people able to get 8000+ credits in the most recent 24 hours when (as is apparent from all the comments here on the boards) MOST of us haven't even been able to get a single unit in the past several days?
