I'm going ot install 6.6.20 soon. Just downloaded it. Sounds
like some of the 'issues' I mention have been fixed.

Yes, and they've probably created some new ones.
Let me know if you figure out how to get more than
one standby workunit.
Dave

That should be simple....in BOINC (not online, on your PC)
go to Avanced... Preferences... and increase the value of
"connect about every" and "additional work buffer". This
controls how many estimated days of work to download.

Hmmm. I thought I did that. I will look again. I bumped it 
from .25 day to 1 day. Irritatingly, although it didn't seem 
to help the multi-core machine, the single-core 32bit AMD2600 
now downloads 5 units, which is really more than it needs. 
The matter has been further complicated by the fact that the 
Seti site seems to keep breaking down.

BTW, the 64bit version 6.6.23, I know it's not considered a
stable release, but if you click "show graphics", on my XP64
machine it causes it to instantly reboot.
