I think they *seriously* underestimated the WU demand caused by every
user having a cache.  The problem spirals because each time there is
an outage, folks set their cache higher to avoid running out...  Not
to mention the dearth of other projects available.

SETI BOINC is cursed by the fact that most (all?) of it's participants
are the folks reading Slashdot, Usenet, message boards, etc..  And
hence are more willing to tweak and fiddle than the 'pretty
screensaver' crowd.
