My computer was not in operation for a month. WUs were automatically canceled because of passed dateline and there was this using "Earliest Deadline First" in the messages tab.

Since that time, even when I set "Maintain enough work for an additional" for 4 days, it won't download more WUs. Only limited to less than 10 hours of completion time.

Is there anything I should change/edit somewhere?

Since your computer was not in operation, BOINC has taken this into consideration for it's "uptime" calculations for your computer.

Based upon this uptime calculation, it will not download more until this calculation increases (done by leaving your computer on). Simply leave your computer on and it will automatically correct itself in a few weeks.

In several weeks, I see.
Well, will go with your suggestion to leave the computer on, even though now I only have 3 WUs of 6 hours completion time left.

Anyway, I'll be back if there is no progress.

Thanks OzzFan

You may end up running out of work, but it will be because downloads from the servers have been having problems. This is unrelated to your "EDF" problem you posted about and is currently unavoidable until they fix the servers.
