I ask, as I was just wondering if, with all these people flooding back to this project, as to whether we're close to/hitting the daily feed limit yet... I haven't but then with the way I have things set up it almost never happens. When I saw that this was going to be ending in a month or so I decided to push for Ruby. Doing that I made this the exclusive project on the computer that is working on it & also unchecked the "send me other work if none is available" box. Then I bumped my cache size up from one day to two. I figured that with an extra day there to fill that there would be enough work coming in to always keep that computer busy (even if the level drops below two days there is always something in there when a work unit is finished). By not topping off the cache with other projects whenever there is room, the WCG servers usually drop a work unit or two of Influenza into the cache whenever the systems talk to each other.

Same here - although it could well happen when your computer's requesting more work and you just simply don't notice it by having such a buffer...

Right, I just meant that with things set up that way you're able to hopefully keep enough work in the queue that you wouldn't notice any work shortages. If you really wanted to see if there were any shortages during that time you could check the message log for the "no work available/work committed to other platforms" message.

Greg, I haven't seen the message in my Message Log - I was just wondering if anyone else had...

No shortage messages here ... one i7 crunching 48 FLU WUs per day + 1 lappy doing about 4 per day (just running over night). I *think* there are a bit more than 2 times as many per day as there was for CEP so I bet it is only being seen if you have all projects selected and count the percentage of each project type carefully ... you might notice that your overall distribution % may be dropping a little for FLU. Keep in mind that the WCG people have things in place to try and make sure that people who have a passion for a project (meaning they have only that project selected) get first dibs on WUs and the rest get parcelled out to the kind souls who fill the gaps left hanging around by us badge hunters who I believe only represent a very small minority of WCG crunchers overall

Just replaced a single core box with another quad...
I guess, my filled buffers should contain enough work to achive my sapphire. When I reached it, I'm out of here, so all others can take my "spare" WU's to improve their badges... Happy crunchin' to all, and good luck for your badges!  |

I've been watching the progress closely since I'm trying to go for sapphire. Based on the rate things are progressing on the series 8 work units I'm estimating all the new work for the series 8 project should be sent by Sept 16th. Having had a look at the sequence numbers of the WUs, I would predict that if the pace goes on like in the last couple of days, series 9 starts on Monday next week, with all regular WUs sent out no later than September 25. Unfortunately I have been caught by badge hunting fever. By far not as severely inected as most of the others here, but my goal is to reach my first "silver" with FLU. Will be hard to achieve, though  Maybe there should be a new project on WCG, "Help cure badge hunting fever"? Regards, Martin  |

That I'd vote for, given the monster was unleashed and each time we feed it, it grows so bad, that I'm seeing the wildest substantially off extrapolations by members who when doing so have evidently not read half of the posts gone before in the current and parallel threads.
----------------------------------------In this case, uplinger, once more said he'd not put more in the daily hopper that feeds this monster. If the daily quota is done, it's done. Just look at CEP for the validation trend. Anyone meeting target will move the x-hairs at the next one, then the last new work date will slip. my 2 cent take
