	Thank you. If I do neither, will I still get ap units when they become available again? On another note, my computer is definitely running cooler and quieter, now that it is crunching only one ap(got last night). I guess 5 cores sleeping will do that? ____________

I noticed temp reduction of 2°C just disabling 2 cores out of 6. ____________

	look like no AP wu coming in to my Solaris 10 machine since 25th Oct. This machine can run AP only. Tried configure it to run Setiathome_enhanched but it always produce error. Another (Fedora) machine can run Setiathome_enhanced only, all AP wu produced error on this Fedora machine. This machine getting lot of AP WU since the 1st day but all result in error! (don't know how to configure it not to receive AP)

Regarding lack of AP: the currently loaded set of tapes has all the AP split already. When we get fresh tapes, they'll have new AP.

And since AP WUs are larger, they take longer to download than MB WUs, so the chances of them erroring out and having to retry again are larger.

	I've had no trouble grabbing some the last few days, painfully slow download for each though, with the occasional retry.

Too much blanking?" somewhere in there. Same thing as the -9 overflow early-exit for MB. There has to be some kind of server-side logic for knowing when a WU is 100% blanked and keep it from being sent out in the first place. ____________ Linux laptop uptime: 1484d 22h 42m Ended due to UPS failure, found 14 hours after the fact

	Not a one ap again. I guess no one else is getting any units either? I'm regularly getting AP's here. Best way to get them, is to uncheck MB WU's on your "SETI@home preferences" page, as well as uncheck "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?", so that you only ask for AP's Then when you've had enough of AP's, go back and re check the appropriate boxes for what kind of work you want. ____________ /The grumpy old Swede.

	I like the method that involves omitting MB in the app_info. I have my website preferences set for AP-only as well, but about 90% of scheduler requests that do not result in "no tasks available" say that my app_info doesn't have an entry for MB, even though I've told it not to send me other work. I haven't gotten many APs recently due to some component reconfiguration and one task ran about 300% of the normal, so my DCF went through the roof. ____________ Linux laptop uptime: 1484d 22h 42m Ended due to UPS failure, found 14 hours after the fact

	Thank you for the suggestion. I got one ap last night and two just now. Hopefully more to come as I just saw that many are ready to send. ____________
