Attempting to get work packet

[berky]

I'm getting this error when I run F@H.

[23:26:46] + Attempting to get work packet

Waiting before retry.

it just keeps going like this. Something is giving me a bad assignment server, but how can I fix this?

Stanford has been having a few ongoing server issues. Starting and stopping the client may increase your chances of being a winner, but I can't promise that

berky, any chance you configured the client to receive workunits without deadlines ? If yes, set this to no because there is no deadlineless workunits for a long time.

Thanks! This was the problem. I set that because I don't keep my computer on all the time, so I figured I'd only do the ones that had no deadline. I guess i'll keep it on 'no preference'.

Console workunits have about 2-3 months of leeway so you are pretty safe, especially when it can be crunched in just 1-2 days if left for 24 hours on modern hardware. Even with a constant run/stop of the computer, it can take about 1 week at most.

ah, ok. thanks for the info.
