What client version are you running? How much RAM? What setting do you have for "Acceptable size of work assignment and work result packets" -- Small/Normal/Big ? Do you have -advmethods set?mrrangerman wrote:I've been having the same problems in getting WU's this has been going on for about 4-5 weeks now.
My system is a AMD64 but I'm running a 32bit OS if this helps at all. This happened a few months ago, I reinstalled the program and that seemed to work, not this time though.

Thanks I set the unit size to big and changed a few settings and I'm back up and running.bruce
In general, "small"/"normal" and not having -advmethods will decrease your chances of getting assignments when WUs are in short supply so you might consider setting "big" and/or advmethods (even temporarily) if you're having troubles.
