Hi,

Anyone else having this trouble with their WinSMP clients?

I was getting exactly that yesterday morning, luckily I had two standard clients that were finishing off work with -oneunit so it wasn't a complete loss. I tried restarting both the client and the PC but nothing helped - eventually it got work later on when I was at work.

Yes, had the same through much of yesterday but it cleared up later, probably when Stamford staff came in and kicked the work servers.

Mine got a new one overnight, so it seems OK now..

same here - yesterday morning - left it running and it appeared to fix itself later on.

Fixed itself this morning for me too.

Yeah they were working on some servers. I had no issues getting work units, but I'm still waiting for credit for a couple of finished ones.

I picked up a couple of console WUs on one PC while I was waiting and they ran at almost 1500PPD combined compared with the 1600 it normally gives with WinSMP so I was quite happy. Then it picked up an ****** 2652 which just don't run to completion on either PC. Fortunately that one died at only 2% and it then picked up a 2653 so back to normal.
