Indeed the work needed to write, test and deliver would far out-way an minute gain in server performance or storage for a not inconsiderable amount of effort and time that the lab staff can spend far more productively in getting the new data sources on stream and the current applications in development into the field.

This host is downloading WU's but not processing them... so all of that hosts wu's will be available again... I do have another v7 one which I do doubt will be completed before deadline 18 Apr 2016, 14:11:49 UTC... ID: 1771934 ·

I do have another v7 one which I do doubt will be completed before deadline 18 Apr 2016, 14:11:49 UTC... So, in 20 days, nearly 1/3 of its WUs have timed out, including 55 v7s. That's an interesting situation. The team challenge is most likely over by now, so why continue to bunker WUs? ID: 1772247 ·

User installed BOINC and it's not working right, and maybe user doesn't see it's still requesting tasks. ID: 1772330 ·

I don't know exactly how 'slight' this chance is. I received 3 v7 resends over the last couple of days ... Maybe we should have a little contest: who receives the last v7 work ? Tom ID: 1776829 ·

Tom What I do suspect, there will be one WU available at 18 Apr 2016, 14:11:49 UTC. I doubt that this host will crunch that WU in time, because it's last contact to server was 25 Feb 2016. If we want to have contest, I think it should be in Cafe SETI :) Anyone interested to open new thread? And maintaining it? ID: 1776882 ·
