Anyhow, I have noticed for the past 4 or 5 days that results usually upload on the first try, reporting units ready to report may take 5 or 10 tries before they go through [keep getting cannot connect/find hostserver] and nothing has been downloaded in that time frame. However, when I look at the "My Computers" page it states that I have 150 units being worked on with one computer and 52 on the other computer [I have 2 hosts]. One has 2 work units and the other 3 work units, NOT 150 units and 52 units. If it says I have 200 units that do not exist on my computer, that is 200 units marked as sent and in use that are neither. Multiply this by all the members, and you have a ton of work units lost in limbo somewhere. It appears that every time I try to connect, it thinks it has sent another workunit or 2 or 3. But they were not sent. I hope that maybe this information helps in resolving the work unit problem.

Have you looked at the workunits by clicking on the number reported? There
is some history, so while it might may say 50 units, perhaps (in my case) 10
of these are current, the rest are returned and either credited or awaiting
credit. I don't know what the criteria are for dropping older units off the list.

Yes, I have. In fact, I have pasted a page below. They are all listed as new, sent and being worked on. That is why I think this could be a major problem. If the data base thinks these work units are in process, it will not send them out again for some time. Meanwhile, the members keep requesting more work, which gets sent to this limbo, so the clients request more work... etc., etc. so that no progress gets made. I have none of the listed work units on my computer in the list below. But they are listed as if I received them today. Please note the time sent on each, there are clumps seperated by 2 or 3 hours, the times I have tried to get more work.

That is why I thought I should mention this to someone. Have a Good One! Love, Peace and Perception
