Where's the work? Since I downloaded the latest version, BOINC seems idle more than it used to be. Only 2 units of work? Per day? Pfft.I dont recall where I found this program, but I figured if it helped someone, no harm in letting it use my "spare capacity" or whatever.
I like the screensaver, but it sucks watching "boinc is idle" most of the time.
That, and I just joined a team after being a renegade for quite some time. Could that be it, or is this normal for the new version?
Seems there'd be more work than just "2 per day"

Have you noticed all the errored-out WUs for the last few days? Thay are the reason why your quota is at 2/day. For each WU aborted, errored, or past-deadline, your daily quota is reduced by 1. For each on-time, valid WU, your daily quota will double, until it reaches the limit of 8.

Ok, looks like I'll just delete the program then. Im not much inclined to troubleshoot anything concering WU errors, as this was just a lark. Too bad.
