requesting 172761 minutes of work,
and getting back -- "no work units availabe"

There is a severe shortage of WUs. You have several choices: Add another BOINC project, wait for S@H WUs to be available, go back to S@H1 for a while, or go someplace else entirely.

Currently the only other active public project is http://predictor.scripps.edu/. There are more expected - Astro Pulse (AP), Climate Prediction Dot Net (CPDN), and Folding@Home F@H are the top contenders. Development has restarted on AP. F@H and CPDN are in secretive phases at the moment.
