(moderation:
it doesnt matter which comp downloads a WU or how many as soon as I have one WU I go into EDF mode. at the same time I get a message from seti that I will run out of work in 5 days and wants more work.
why does this happen I want it to share resorces like its designed to do...

It's probably due to your "connect every" setting. To ensure that the unit can be returned the CC wants you to be able to complete the unit with at least one connect setting to spare.
I would suggest you reduce this value to 1 or 2 days... you'll still get sufficient work and if you're always connected then there is no appreciable difference between the two values.

its set to 5 days I have plenty of time to share resources but einstien hogs them
Yes, but waht happens is that

Yes, but waht happens is that each project will try to d/l 5 days of work, and that would mean that the einstein units would be returned late, would not be accepted by the system and you would get zero credit, none of which sound appealling to me.
What are your resource shares, by the way?
beacuse of a failed download

beacuse of a failed download i can only get one wu my best comp can crunch it in 6 hr or less and still wont share i have a week to do one and will not share
But increasing the number of

But increasing the number of days you d/l for won't let you d/l more than your max number of WU/day (currently at 5 for 1 comp, 2 for the other).
The reason this computer has a reduced d/l rate is because of the 8 d/l errors you had yesterday or today. This one has 3 consecutive client errors. Since the normal max/day is 8 units this makes sense.
Don't worry though, each time you complete a unit successfully your quota doubles (until it reaches 8 again).
But this still doesn't explain why you won't reduce your connect settings. It will prevent the use of EDF mode, and quite honestly I can't think of anything else that would...
[edit] is one of your concerns the fact that you're not getting enough SETI work?[/edit]
why will a lower conect time

why will a lower conect time change anything IT WILL NOT SHARE WITH ONE WU
sorry for shouting
Do you currently have any

Do you currently have any SETI units to crunch?
If you don't, you're not alone, on SETI we're going through the units as fast as they're being made... there are currently 11 (yes eleven) units available TOTAL. For 300 000 participants (See here for the server status for SETI).
I understand the frustration, but I really AM trying to help and I'm trying NOT to be dense... I don't know if it's working or not.
I can undeyrstand when I get

I can undeyrstand when I get 8 WU why It says Im over commited but when I only get one and it still says Im overcomited something is wrong especially when seti tells me Im running out of work,
BTW I have plenty of setis no worry about running out
Ok, how long is it estimating

Ok, how long is it estimating that your Einstein units take?
not sure its running now I

not sure its running now I think its close maybe 8 hr and it take 6 hr
