I have suspended Seti crunching for a week or two to assist my fellow crunchers over at SETI.USA in their quest to obtain and hold the top spot at Proteins..... Nothing wrong here at Seti whatsoever, I have been quite happy with my recent RAC using the new apps.... But Proteins is supposed to be wrapping things up for a while sometime soon, and I had a personal request to help out the team 'till the work is gone...... Hope you all understand.......no problems on the Seti front, just a small diversion..... I'll still be on the forums, and I'll be back crunching Seti full time just as soon as the kitties have put this other little project to bed......... Best Regards to all, Mark.

This contest may be ending sooner than some projected, there were about 200,000 or more left last night. Just pondering, couldn't some unscrupulous team cheat in a contest like this? Their members all set their hosts to D/L the largest cache of WU's allowed. That way, when the project is out of WU's, they crunch and return their cache while everyone else has their RAC's dwindling because they have none to crunch and return.

Once you reach the 30 limit you can only download a new wu when you report a completed one. Mark, thanks for answering the call for help. Like you said it may be way shorter than anyone anticipated.
