Oh well, it's fixed.

I bumped my preferences up to 3 days and got way too much work, so I cut this off, and ran out; now
I can't get any. I can not understand why the SSP says work is available but the messages screen
says "(Project has no jobs available)". 

Anyway, that aside, does anyone understand the difference between the "days of work" on the web page
versus the boinc setting? Specifically, I mean the setting at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ =>
"Preferences" => "Computing Preferences" => "Maintain enough work for an additional ? days" versus
"Boinc 6.6.31" => "Advanced" => "Preferences" => "Network usage" => "Additional work buffer ?.??
days" ? Which one controls how much work you actually get?

Thanks.
