I know that this is a young kid running this thing, but it is very frustrating trying to keep it going. I noticed that on this 8 core, sometimes 3 or more wu's will not DL properly. The other 5 run while it tries to DL the other files. I found that if I keep hammering the server with retries, I can get it to DL. That works fine for machines with 1 or 2 cores, but for multi-core machines, sometimes a few WU's start to run while the others are hung up and if you get the files to DL, the machine will wait until all WU's are complete before asking for more work. I have been aborting the ones that get hung up so that it will ask for the full amount of work when updating. It probably has something to do with the LAN Nazis around here, but haven't had the time to look deeper into it.

I would just not worry about it and let it do its thing. It will correct itself.
