with the large quantity of download errors encounterred a couple of days ago,

there are now many recycled work units being sent out with 3 errors built in.

2 additional errors will create a "Check Skipped" situation.

regards

Maybe the need to calculate a "download errors" total each day. Then match the recycled WU's against the hight error total days (to isolate recycled WU's) that are/maybe the result of system problems).

Not sure if the project software has a way of handling "special cases" like this or if it's even worth it.
