The mainpage shows that there is >19000 workunits to crunch, and the BOINC client gets messages that no work is available.

I think it is related to database problems, because earlier I could get work. Just wanted to make sure :)

Both of my systems are saying the same thing, although last night I got some WU's but now I'm skinned again.

Just received a WU after 20 hour period without work for LHC and thw WU completed in 5 seconds... But it seems that everything is ok now, as I am downloading more now :)

Many of the wu's from LHC are short, and with thousands of participants, 19,000 wu's will be used up quite quickly. I suspect the reason for the apparent problem is that the script which updates the wu count on the main page is run infrequently, thus is the count of available wu's when the script was last run.

It might be nice if the script posted the date and time of it's run at the same time as the wu count.
