Missing WU's?

I'm reposting here - I guess this is the right forum...
When I look at my computer (19957), it shows me with 8 WU's, but I only had 7. There is one inbetween two other returned WU's that shows still out to me (in addition to the two newest ones), but BOINC only has the two newest WU's on the screen. If I never got the file, won't that slow everyone else with that WU down? Is there another way to get it, or should I just forget about it? The WU in question is 364886.
Thanks.

I'm afraid that the WU in question is simply missing. We've had quite a few of these 'lost WU' this week, probably due to a bug in the 4.19 client that I think we have now worked around.
This will cause some delay in people getting credit, but is more of an annoyance than a problem, since the scheduler will create new WU when the old ones time out. So as long as your machine is processing WU and returning successful results, don't worry, be happy!

I have the same problem, my host is shown as having three WUs in progress - #368815, #368803 & #368795 - but BOINC has only downloaded one of the three, #368803.
Would updating to a newer version of BOINC help prevent this reoccurring?
