Just wondering why the failed units aren't being sent out first? There's still plenty sitting in the queue, eg 14mr04aa.17223.3106.965896.105_3 (Server status is currently "unsent") while I just received a whole bunch of "new" units. Sometimes the failed units seem to sit around for 3 or 4 days before going out again. Shouldn't these be at the top of the queue to keep the number of "in progress" WUs at a minimum? |

There is no significant difference between a WU that has failed and needs to be reissued and one that is brand new. As far as the system is concerned they have "identical" and represent the same "loading" on the system. |

Well I download 5 at a time and for the last few days it seems to have been a ratio of 4 re-issued failed ones and 1 new one, so the way I read it is that there is a priority on failed ones. |
