I have been 'lurking' on the Boinc Fora for some time, but this is my first post so....take it easy on me eh...
I was wondering about how work units are distributed here. In the past day or so I have returned a couple like 327966 and 330563 that were sent to/returned by one or two users, but not sent to anyone else (as yet anyway). I'm kind of used to the way 'SETI' sends a unit to four users at almost the same time, and was wondering if this is normal on LHC or there is something odd about the two units.

Thanks for the reply, I noticed the thread was getting a lot of views, but wondered if anyone would reply (especially since I put it in the wrong section!). After I posted this I saw a couple of other threads in the NC section with similar content, although the subject headers didnt make it very apparent. It still seems like everyone is tap-dancing around the subject. Why are some WU's sent to multiple users almost simultaneously while a few like the ones I mentioned go out to only one user and even after they are completed and the result uploaded, not sent out to anyone else. May if I post it in the 'problems' section one of the project techies can get a better answer than 'it just happens that way sometimes'.
