All of our splitters have been altered to create workunits for SETI@home enhanced. Thanks for your patience during this transition.

There may be a few left in the pipe... but my Quad ran out of work about 45 minutes ago with no new work in sight. Had to make the jump to enhanced. We'll see how badly my RAC will drop.

To give you an idea (a relative one, the last days have been a bit bumpy in the RAC given the different problems/trials of optimized app) I dropped from about 600+ to about 400. (now I'm still the biggest cruncher of my team

I returned after four days in California to find my router had hung. All of my machines
had literally hundreds of work units to submit.

They all grabbed TONS of work when the work units were uploaded - this was Monday.
The G5 still has in excess of 200 work units to crunch (I stopped counting at 200). The
Pentium M laptop I use has 180 as of now, and the G4 and Athlon boxes have beyond a
full screenful.

I am guessing that I grabbed the last of the available workunits for this standard
project. When I run out, enhanced will be run.

I went through the last of my standard units last night, but I still keep getting the "No work from project" message. I just detached myself from it and then attached again and will hope that it works.

If you were running an optimzed worker, you'll need to delete the app_info.xml file before BOINC will download a new SETI science app to crunch the enhanced WUs.

I did get a enhanced unit to crunch on, now we just have to wait for that optimized worker.
