(moderation:
I run both SETI and Einstein, the problem is when i get work units, will i get a lot of them, but it is only from one place, when i get 15 from seti, then i only get 2 from, einstein, and the same when i get 15 from einstein, then i only get 2 from seti, i have set the genral settings to run equaly on both programs. in both programs.
Even if i have only have 2 work unit from einstein, then i only get 0-3 work units and then get 10-15 work units from Seti.
it will not help when i try to update my Einstein or Seti program in BOINC
what shall i do to get equaly of work units from all programs??

Leave it alone? It's not mean to micromanage. Several of my machines do this same thing. It's how the debt is calculated, and you are doing equal work, just more of pne project on one day, then more of the other on another day, etc. I see nothing wrong with it.
From your description

From your description reducing your queue size may help you get a more equal amount of work at any given time. Your queue should be less than 40% of the shortest deadline divided by the number of projects attached. If you only have SETI and E@H then 3.4 days is the max to (mostly) prevent EDF mode and doing a bunch of one project then a group of the other.
NOTE: It will generally take about twice the old queue size for your client to settle into a new groove. So have patience.
