(moderation:
Has anybody any idea what is happening here ?
WU 751346 originally dated 04/08/2005 and hence the credits seem to have been deleted and reassigned for reprocessing today even there has been no invalid result in my processed working units before.
The other question I have is why my first WU was not rewarded with any Cobblestones at all?
Many thanks.

the WUs are not necessarily ordered by date, so I think it is just a new WU, which happened to show up there.
btw: the links you provided do not work for me: no access.

link not working - no access, same as above -

could be the WU you're referring to.
You had three Windows machines against your mac - probably due to the hopefully fixed now validator you got no credit.
Maybe, it will be reevaluated.
Concerning the links, you should avoid to include the user-id. hostid and wu-id are ok and will work for others.

Sorry I wasn't aware of any linking difference between being logged in and being logged of, however you catched the right links. According to a still pending WU the grace period for WUs generated on 04/08/2005 will end on 04/15/2005. As this period has not ended yet, I still have no clue why a WU generated on 04/08/2005 has been transmitted to 4 different computers for starting processing today. It would be logical to me if the WUs would be processed either in sequence or if some computers do not return their results on time dedicate the missing results to new machines- after the grace period has ended. I will keep an eye on subsequent file transmissions.

Well ... I guess this constellation could happen once in a while. It's good to know that the fixed validator seems to be taking those 3:1 problems into account.;-)

no problem at all.

The process has more steps. The WUs are generated first, they aren't necessarily send to a computer the same day.

the sending out to 4 computers is heavily under attack, since 3 would be sufficient to tell valid results from invalid.
we already had several threads: 'less redundancy' covering this topic.

the new validator is already working, but I do not know whether it cures the problem.
I once had it the other way round: my windows machine didn't get credit against 3 linux clients - but this is rather rare. it's far more common linux loses against windows.
