I recently downloaded and installed 6.6.2. I believe it has a bug where it continues to download work until it runs out of allocated disk space on your system and then complains that it doesn't have disk space for more workunits! Then the server complains when you exceed your 700 workunit quota in one day (because the client continues to download work units). System is an Intel Duel-core with an Nvidia Cuda processor. Might want to check to see if the logic that checks work ahead is messed up. I can see a few ahead but not 200 or 300 workunits ahead! Glad to assist in troubleshooting.

Congratulations Norm, it's already been noted in quite a few other threads. :)
It really seems to have a bunch of tricks like that.
