How come my average continues to go down despite of several projects completed and sent?

Take a look at your results list and notice how many of your recent results are 'pending'. This simply means that you are waiting for various 'wingmen' to complete the corresponding tasks so that validation can be performed and the pending credit awarded. When that happens you will probably see quite a surge in your RAC.

Because of variations like this, the RAC of a single computer is quite a poor guide to current performance.

Cheers,
Gary.

Hi!

how come when I check my "wingmen" information for most of my pending credits does not show any information and do not list any person attached to the project?

They're Unsent, meaning not sent yet to another computer. It'll come to that, don't worry.

It's true that the three most recent pendings have not yet been sent to another computer and so you don't yet have a wingman for each of those. The scheduler will send those out soon enough.

Your older pendings do have wingmen but they didn't get their copies of those tasks until a few days after you got yours. This is just a characteristic of the scheduler and absolutely not any sort of a problem. Just be patient :).

Cheers,
Gary.

Thanks for your reply, I thought that it could be a problem with my setup, thanks again for the explanation.
