Sometimes I get work units where instead of the normal messages it instead shows:

Finished a frame(100)
Finished a frame(101)

and so on...what is this all about? It goes on forever it seems. How do I choose to do work units that are just the normal type that go to 100 and that's it?
 
That would be a Tinker core work unit. Tinker is the original core of this project. It runs with no optimizations and use nothing but the CPUs true floating point processing power. That's why they usually run nearly twice as fast on an AMD (XP, MP or 64) vs an Intel P4 at the same MHz.

Running your folding with the -advmethods flag and setting allow big packet work units will usually keep getting Tinkers to a minimum.
 
Besides what ^^^^ said...

Other then a few minor tweaks, it is random on what Work Unit (WU) you get.
Sadly they won't let us pick and choose... maybe someday

That page will show you how many steps/frames the work unit takes, as well as the points.

You could also use EM3 for much of the same info, just real time in tracking how long until your WU finishes
