I added a new computer to my \'farm\' ( 201038 ), which d/led a data set, then d/led another, so it has 2 data sets to work on, one running and one ready to run.

It sent it\'s first trickle last night.

Looking at the computers info shows that it has \'12\' data sets, and when clicking on that entry I am presented with the list of all of my \'farms\' results.

I think that a pointer got messed up in the master database.

Downloading 2 work units is a problem that I thought was supposed to be fixed but it still seems to crop up.

Due to a need to reallocate credits to where they are supposed to go, some workunits were reallocated to the person who has got furthest. Unfortunately this gave a problem with merged host. The consequence is that results for merged hosts have now been transfered to your latest computer. This was considered to be far better than not being able to see them at all. Sorry about this.

OK, not a problem on my end. :-)

I did make an adjustment to the resource shares so that the new machine could have a chance of finishing both data sets before deadline.

However, I had to detach/reattach because of corrupted client_status.xml files recently, before adding the new machine, and some of the data sets listed are no longer on my computers.

2au7_200128448
2plh_300147763
2uzz_300154834
3vit_100202636

should be reassigned to others, if possible.
