I'm pleased to know that someone is receiving WU's as, so far, I've only had 7 WU's in total (very annoying), only 2 'A's, the rest short runs so the prospect of bronze is looking remote.....don't know why I haven't seen any for the last week...hope there might be a better share out of the 22million 'C' WU's in due course!!

Don't feel depressed Trotador, you missed my point.
I am getting very little from DDDT2 at the moment much less than others but we are in a starting phase and I have no problem with that.
On NRW I decided to stop some time ago at 2 years and not push to the 5 years to allow others to get WU's and get a badge before the end of the project. But it was my decision not imposed by the system and this makes a big difference.

What I was adressing in my post is the daily quota per thread. That quota is not related to one specific WCG project it is an absolute limit per thread (my understanding). This means that if we go with very short timed WU's (HCC or DDDT2 or else) then once you have gobbled your daily WCG WU quota you just get nothing more. You stop crunching for WCG. This means you have to crunch another BOINC project or whatever other project outside WCG to avoid staying idle. This is what I do not want to be oblidged to. But if it happens, c'est la vie.

Now what does this mean:
1) It means first that projects will finish quicker and that is all good for scientists.
2) It means that there is more crunching power available on the grid and this is also good as it will allow scientist to design new projects, or adress a new class of problems.
3) Shorter times per project means a risk for the slower machines that they will not be able to reach the top badges before the project ends.

This is a real problem as every contributor, slow, fast, big, small must be rewarded in an acceptable way. I am not sure that to limit is the right way to go because the real effect is to limit the crunching power of the whole grid, and this is the opposite of what we really want.

Why all this concern about the daily quota limit? You're making all these posts about how you think that this is such a bad thing, computers will be sitting idle, etc.... Yet, I haven't seen a single post about anyone hitting that limit and running out of work.

I'm sure some people have hit the daily download limit, but that was when they were bumping up their cache. It still leaves their machines plenty of work to crunch in the meantime.

Until anyone actually has a real world example of this quota limit causing their machine to go idle, I'd suggest not worrying about it. I'm sure the tech's thought about this possibility and set the limit accordingly.

Hutch, this has happened far as i can remember only 2 times, for early days DDDT-1 and maybe FAAH, can't exactly remember. Then the quota was increased from 80 to 120 or 160, as I noted in previous post, temporarily. Upping the quota further above what the top device can hack in 24 hours is not an option... simply stay connected to backfill.

hmmm, wonder if it actually happens if a rule could be set to allow similar as with Beta ... return result 80 for the core inside the 24 hour frame, valid of course or at least without an instant zero error diagnostic, get 1 more, return that, get 1 more.

edit: struck out

I received only 2 Wu's (A) at the beginning. I was sharing this Project with 3 others and after the A Wu's I got nothing.
Now I'm only on Dengue Project from more than 2 days and I'm still getting nothing. Is this project sort of Intermittent at this point? When it will get full streamed?
