Rom, for those of us using a *nix box,
it is very difficult for us to get work.
I personally am always being deferred,
maybe my pppoe connect can not keep up
with those that are using cable connect
with a gazillon computers which suck all
of the work before the lesser of us can get
any. Is it just me or is this the case
in general? Did the team ever consider
limiting the amount of work units sent
out.

And an annoying thing with the *nix client
is that you do not have the luxury of
sitting on "update" or "retry now".
Even issuing "update URL" from
the Linux client won't get you around
the deffered time..

I hope someone doesn't tell me to switch
to using windoze, Linux is my OS of choice.

Regards and Fedoras off to you and the
UCB team

This isn't a *NIX problem or a connection problem. Everyone is having trouble getting work units with the project being up and down all the time. Also, please keep in mind that when they shut down seti classic and the user load increases on SAH/BOINC, there will not be enough work units for everyone. Seti classic just kept sending out work units over and over after they had already been processed just to keep people happy. BOINC will not do this. For this reason, there are other BOINC projects out there to distribute the distributed projects :)
