According to server status, there should be plenty of SixTrack tasks available, so I'm wondering what could be the problem. Or is this normal and in fact the SixTrack supply is very limited ?

Have I done something wrong settings-wise? Can anyone help, please? Rogerp "Any fool can appreciate mountain scenery. It takes a man of discernment to appreciate the Fens."

I am OK for downloads to my backup pc but my Win10 machine has no WUs for SETI@, LHC@ or Milkyway@. Both pcs are failing to obtain LHC WUs. I shall wait until the maintenance days are over and check again. Roger "Any fool can appreciate mountain scenery. It takes a man of discernment to appreciate the Fens."

I've had 20 sixtrack in last 8 day but 273 theory in last 3 for example ID: 28108 · Reply Quote
