Teo,

What did you have the "Connect to" interval set to, in you preferences?

You got about 126 at about 17 Mar 2006 5:58:40 UTC !! Your daily limit is set to 32. If you are absolutely sure there is nothing you did to extract more than your daily allowance, I'd suggesting asking Bruce.

If, as Michael suggested, you have adjusted "Connect to" interval, it looks like it's set to four days. If that's the case, don't worry Bruce ;-).

Do you think you process the rest of those WU's in 11 days?

A few days ago I was fixing a bug in the scheduler. For a few seconds (until I killed the scheduler) I introduced a new bug. Your machine had the bad luck of contacting the scheduler during this brief period and, because of this bug, got assigned way too much work. I apologize for this. Could I suggest that you abort some of these workunits, if you won't be able to complete them in time.

En...On the contrary,I need

En...On the contrary,I need more.
Most of my computers can connect Internet only once a week.
So,E@H must download enough wu at that time.But some pack of work units send to me are take short time to run,for about an hour.Even if the E@H download 32(max)wu,the computer will not have enough work to do before I can connect Internet again.
Oh! Give me more work please!Im hungry...

Wish you can understand my English:)

If you set your cache size "connect to..." setting higher (more days) it will fill WUs enough for your machine to last that long. 32WU/day x # of days.

I set cache size "7 days".
But the problem is once 32wu downloaded,sever will not send me more within 24 hour.
