    I have started to see Fetching Master File in red in the message boards. This also fails to get fetched. I am getting a failure to upload results, too many backoffs and re-attempts to download a master file.

    Not having done anything to any of the settings to the computer for a very long time this is somewhat disconcerting. My other machine (two cpu) is still running fine though with 100MB of work in 1h34min increments, yet the current machine (the one this is being typed on) has a smaller number of units of app 10h50m of time required, when normally these are similar.

    Can anyone help?

      Just noticed your post and the fact that it had gone unanswered for a while. I've also "viewed" your computers and it appears that both have work. Has the new Master File downloaded yet or are you still having problems? From what you described, it sounds like you are/were having network connection/ISP problems. Have you noticed any problems accessing the internet with your browser or e-mail program?

      Edit: A new Master File might explain the change in WU's you described. But an occasional change in WU's (long to short and vice-versa) is not at all unusual. In fact, it has happened to me several times recently.

        Nick, I am assuming that this is resolved. If not please shout.
