AstroPulse tasks are available in large quantity usually only ~2 days a week
Consult this link:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html

Look at 'Splitter status' - right column Astropulse
If there is green - AstroPulse WUs are generated
If all is (done) - there will be 'pause' of 5-10 days with no new AstroPulse WUs

In that 'pause' period you may get 'just one or two occasionally' - they are 'old' tasks that did some kind of error on another computer so next copy was sent (this time to you)

In BOINC Manager the 'new' tasks names end with .wu_0 or .wu_1
The 'old' tasks names end with .wu_2 .wu_3 .wu_4 ...

Makes sense, thanks for explaining! Now I can stop worrying about whether it was a problem introduced by installing the optimiser. Cheers guys.
