Reaching Daily Quota after only 4 WUs?

(moderation:
I've never had any issues with this project, but just today I noticed my CPU usage was down to about 25% of my quad-core system, so I checked it out and only 1 task was running under Einstein@Home. So I tried forcing an update to the project and got this message:

1/3/2011 2:10:35 AM Einstein@Home Message from server: (reached daily quota of 4 tasks)
I looked all over preferences and project settings online aswell and saw no such quota anywhere - any ideas whats happening? Why is there suddenly such a quota?
EDIT:
I just looked and a little down in the log it says this:

But according to the Server Status there is plenty of work to be done? Confused.
Reaching Daily Quota after only 4 WUs?

You've run out of disk space on the drive that you run BOINC on, or you run with too strict disk preferences.
All your tasks err with "There is not enough space on the disk. (0x70) - exit code 112 (0x70)".

It is because of the "Error while computing" you have been having since January 1st
The server will only let you have a few at a time until you turn in some "Completed and validated" WU's
hmm.. I checked my disk usage

hmm.. I checked my disk usage and my HDD has 80+GB free space on it. I have 5GB available to BOINC and of that 4.xGB is free.
Here's a screenshot for reference:
Any ideas?
I might just reset the project and see if that helps..
What size is the hard drive?

What size is the hard drive?
I suspect that the "Use at most 50% of total disk space" is your culprit.
E.g: If you have a 260GB HDD, this means that 130GB is the cut-off. Install enough programs on the drive, exceed 130GB and when BOINC runs work that writes itself to disk periodically (at checkpoints, plus in the page file or virtual memory) it'll stop the work with the "out of disk space" error.
The "total disk space" in the preference is about total disk space, whole drive. Not just the partition that BOINC runs on, as is shown in the Disk Usage tab, in your case (465.67 GB).
So I should decrease this

So I should decrease this percentage or increase it? I'll try increasing it.
