Since I started I found my PC could do one WU in about 5 to 5.5 hours. I reset my preferences to contact the server every 2 days so I would have some WUs in cache in case the server was down and could not be contacted. At the present my PC shows that I have one WU running and one ready to run.

When I check my account, it shows my computer (#19493) has 11 WU In Progress but there are only two one my PC and everytime I update I receive a message that daily quota of 8 WU reaches and it will not download any WU.

My question is will I receive these other nine WU one at a time in the future or are they lost.

Also if they are not downloaded all at once, what does it take to get more then one running and one ready to run on my PC.

How do I set up my PC to have more then 2 WUs on my PC?

In Progress WU

My account now shows that I have 19 WUs In Progress and my PC now shows that there are nine in cache and one running. What happened to the other nine again?

John, there was a problem with the 4.19 client that turned up after we went public. We fixed it with a workaround on the server end. This sounds like a manifestation of that problem. Could you look at your list of computers and see if this computer is listed multiple times? If so, use the merge function to combine them into a single host, then don't worry any more. The lost WU will time out and everything should work properly afterwards. Those 9 WU are lost -- they were sent to a fictitious machine that doesn't exist.
