"No work sent. Daily quota reached"!?

Topic 188605
(moderation:
My computer has crunched along on the calculations it received a few days ago, and is now down to the last 2-1/2 problems (that is, right now the “Work” tab shows one project 100% calculated and scheduled to upload in a bit over an hour, one project 78% completed, and two yet to be calculated).
When I right-clicked on Einstein@Home to update as before, it connected fine to the scheduler, then gave the amazing message “No work sent (daily quota of 8 WU reached)”!! I’ve tried several times over the past couple of hours, to get the same strange refusal.
My internet connection is working fine. I checked my preferences (even created a profile and edited my preferences), but could see no place for a user to up the number of work units. But it’s clear that my machine will run out of work again this evening unless there is some way to override the quota.
Please advise!

The server's working properly. To prevent any single host from glitching out and ripping through a bazillion WU's, the server limits a given host to a certain number of WU's per day. Since you seem to make your computer "blitz" the project, by only connecting every few days and then demanding lots of WU's, you're hitting that limit. Are you on a dialup Internet connection, or some other type of connection that you have to control?
If not, stop manually updating the project, and let BOINC do its own thing. It should automatically download new WU's once both it and the server are ready.
Also try connecting your computer to other projects; that way it can do something other than E@H when it runs out. Climateprediction.net is a particularly "good" project for that, as its "work units" are complete climate models which take months to run. Be sure to set the resource shares.
