They have a new policy to only allow 1 WU per host per hour so if you have tried to get work from LHC before without success you may have more luck now. Regards, Keith {EDIT} There is also a temporary limit of 2 WUs per CPU per day. See the LHC news and message boards for more. {/EDIT} Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 ID: 658380 ·

Quota is now 4 per CPU per day. If you want an extra BOINC project to add, now would be a good time to join LHC. Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 ID: 666951 ·

That's two weekends in a row that LHC had gone down. Are the servers controled by a light switch that gets turned off when they leave for the weekend? :) ID: 675054 ·

From there, it was posted: LHC@home News - November 9, 2007 Contributed by Stefan Ledwina Due to work being carried out in the Physics Department at Queen Mary, University of london the electricity supply needs to be turned off for the weekend. This means that the LHC@home server/service will be unavailable from 17:30 GMT today (09/11/07) till 09:30 GMT on Monday (12/11/07). Sorry for the short notice but we have only been informed.

(I've been signed up for 6 months, but always miss the WU's when they are handed out). You have to have rotten luck not to at least get 1 these days. They have a maximum of 10/core (4 core max) each day. This means no system can get any more than 40/day. I got 8 today. That looks to be all, unless there are some reissues. The payout is significantly less than here, so for those of you who are extreme stat chasers, LHC isn't going to bump your BOINC-wide stats up... ID: 676777 ·
