No. There is a workunit shortage for all the SMP cores right now except for -bigadv A2 units.

Weird. It seems if you get started on the A3 WUs, you are fine. Last night, I have one smp2 machine getting A3 units straight away, and the other did not.

After I cleared the Work folder, core, quque.dat, it picked up some and has been chugging on them since. Maybe some servers have more WUs than others? There are lots of posts around the net, and foldingforum compaining about the lack of WUs.

I'm guessing it just has to do with luck of the draw. It depends on how much work there is at the time your client contacts the assignment server for work, and how many other people are asking for work at the same time.

what gets to me is that it doesnt even give the ip of the server, just tells you youre out of luck lol

If the assignment server knows that the work servers don't have anything for you, it would be a waste of server time to assign you to an empty work server.

Well then.

One of the smp2s for Bananas just ran out of work for the first time.

Keep in mind that my smp clients run at the lowest priority and that my gpu clients take up between 5 - 10% of cpu cycles.

ok, that makes sense then.

funny thing is, ppl complain about babysitting gpu clients, hell ive had better luck with them than smp lol

The SMP client is far more reliable than the GPU clients, especially the nVidia one.
