I've got 3 WU (listed below) that claim to have been sent to my computer. I don't have them. Didn't have any computer crashes, power outtages, etc. that could possibly effect it. Is this something that happened to others? Or is this a 'freak' situation? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

they're called "ghost" WUs. I personally don't remember seeing one in many many months, but I hear that they happen. Some kind of Comm glitch.

Thanks for the info, Tony. They appeared in a 12hr period spanning 5-6 Sep 06.

Don't know if this is the right thread to post this in, but I didn't want to create a new one.

One of my workunits is also lost. I completed three WUs and another one errored out. Then I reported three of them (including the one that errored) as Boinc only does two up/downloads at a time. When I reported the third one after it uploaded I got the server message that it was already reported. Now it doesn't show up in Boinc and my results says it is still in progress.

Can someone tell me what happened to my workunit?

EDIT: Oops false alarm. I checked the times of the workunits and the ones I reported are all there. But I do still have two lost workunits since I only have five workunits and all of them are due on the 19th.

Hey men and women, I've a ghost too :D

My host is haunted

Be aware of the ghost

But... yes! I've an idea, couldn't we give all this WUs to LHC, so I would receive at least a ghost from it? :D
