    When my computer download WU it start by downloading 8 files, 4 that is named h1* and 4 named l1*. Then it runs WU from these maned h1* until theres no more and then start over again with 8 new downloaded files but it only gets server request to delete the 4 old files named h1*. This leaves the 4 files l1* on my computer, these mean that for each time 4 files (l1*) seems to get left on the computer. Is this a bug or will my computer need then later or will they be deleted later.

      IIUC, this is part of the data structure changes to the 'datapacks'. Before they came down as one big 30MB blob originating from one or the other of the detectors and got used and held on to until all work was exhausted for it.

      Now they are broken up into approximately 3MB blobs and get 'reassembled' locally depending on the WU template to be run against it. I imagine this gives project finer resolution for the analysis, while at the same time helping to reduce the number and/or size of datapack downloads.
