Something happened this afternoon (Saturday) and the "log jam" mostly
cleared out. The "Result turnaround time (last hour average)" is down to
56.99 hours. For those systems not clogged with uploads (mine is), it is
again possible to obtain work (mine won't). At least there is enough
work in the queue that it doesn't matter. 

Mine is running better. Was able to get tasks today.

I've got my "connect about every" and "additional work buffer"
both maxed out to 10 days on each machine. The hope is, I can
keep a LOT of work in the queue. I never do get a full 20 days
work.

That seems to be the name of the game at this point. I keep hoping someone will find some setting in
Boinc that says not to download if there are nore than a certain number of failed uploads. 

 
The AMD3400 dual-core, the #3 system with the small queue in the preceding discussion, stopped
requesting new tasks today when the number of failed uploads (Status: uploading) reached exactly
eight. This number has been difficult to pin down due to varying circumstances. There is one other
task in the system, currently running. An additional obfuscatory factor, hopefully irrelevant, is
that this is the only system I have with Windows XP64.
