I work away from home for 14 days at a time. I also have 11 pc's that I run Rosetta on. Over the last couple of days my RAC and WU's accomplished has dropped considerably. All my PC's are still on according to my wife, but without me there to baby-sit them I cannot determine what the issue is. We have good internet access, so that's not the issue. Over the last two weeks I seem to be noticing a lot more issues where Rosetta is concerned. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am starting to think about switching projects if this continues. Any ideas out there?

Well, it seems like the majority of my PC's have started updating again. There are still a couple that have not updated WU's in the last two days, but my RAC is starting to climb again. Must have been something on the Rosetta side of things, even though all servers report as OK. Any ideas?

There have been some issues with the RAC figures calculated. There is a thread on the subject. Credit was issued normally, but the calculations of RAC seemed off because even if you stopped crunching, the rolling average of RAC shouldn't have been able to drop as fast as shown. Things seem to be returning to normal now.

If your task completions seem to have decreased as well, there are issues with the 6.6 BOINC client leaving CPUs idle and not requesting sufficient work.

What I am noticing now that some computers are reporting again, is a few are showing a lot of "validation errors" in the last day or two. Very strange.

In addition to the bit about the "validation errors", I had recently set many of my PC's up for downloading 1.25 days of work at a time, up from the default of .25

Yes, several other reports of validation errors (see the rest of the thread referenced). And this post that a fix is being worked on presently.
