	Yes, this can happen with dozens of workunits, and it happens more frequently when SETI@Home's internet connection is maxed out for extended periods of time.

	Since Seti has the "resend lost tasks" option on, you'll get the task sent when BOINC on your computer makes contact with the server and they can compare notes. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception.
