Hi there,
The title says it all. When I upgraded to version 6.6.20 I couldn't keep a supply or Rosetta WU. It won't download any new workunits until it is out of work units, and then it just downloads about 6 to 8 hours of work. I'm sharing my time between Rosetta (%60) and Seti (%40) It's set to keep a 2.7 day supply. I've reset the project, even detached and reattached, no change. Seti is working normally with about a 24 hours supply of work, Rosetta only keeps 1 or 2 workunits, at about 3 hours each.
I've upgraded to 6.6.28 with no change in the problem. Before the 6.6 series this never happened. I don't get any error messages, it just says "not requesting new tasks" when I do an update. I've got plenty of disk space, I've allocated a gig for Boinc.
Any ideas out there?

Forgot to mention this is on a dual core XP machine

The 6.6.x BOINC versions are having trouble keeping the proper work buffer size. It is a BOINC issue, not a Rosetta issue. Can only suggest you increase both network settings for number of days of work to get until you have a buffer established.
