According to the server status, there is about 17000 new work units being processed. I was not able to get 1 work unit. Is there any trick to get work units when they are available?

Luck or hitting the update button at the right time. Problem is that the WUs are gone before your BOINC client thinks it must contact the LHC servers again...

Its really frustrating... I missed three of the unit crunches because my computer was in hibernate mode... for 2 hours. Anyway, the team should somehow stagger the WU\'s release time so that more people get them.
