Just curious as to why I've recieved 60 w/u in the
last 3 or 4 days? Thats more than I've recieved total
since I signed up this time. Is there some big push on? Not a complaint just curious.

If you are just getting started, BOINC is learning how many hours per day it tends to be running. It is also learning how long the tasks are taking you to process. If you happened to have a few tasks that completed in a short time, it may have gotten BOINC to believe it takes more of them to keep you busy for x days (as selected in your network preferences).

Thanks for the response. Yes I've changed a couple of the settings.
I am just surprised at how big a change it made in the amount of
work units.
