[08:29:18] Initial: 0000; + No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit.
[08:29:18] + Couldn't get work instructions.
[08:29:18] - Attempt #44 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
I should probably note that clients were working for years till last few days.

I am running the SMP client.

Is the project out of work?
There is plenty of work for Intel-based Macs (and Linux) which have upgraded to the v6.29 client.

There is currently a WU shortage for both PPC based hardware and for Intel-based Linux/OS-X machines running an earlier client version. I'm not sure when either of these shortages will be resolved. The SMP projects that have been based on FahCore_a1 and FahCore_a2 are being phased out in favor of FahCore_a3 and it requires V6.29 or later. For the PPC, a resolution is more complicated.

My Intel mac is working again.

Was able to get WU this morning.

Ironically the WU I picked up is using the a1 core not a3.

I am running the v6.29 client.

One of my PC (Athlon X2) has nothing to do since yesterday 17:20 UTC.

Configuration is v6.29, smp, big, 3705, advmethods=yes

Server for last WU was 171.64.65.64 but it seems overloaded.
And serveur 171.64.65.56 seems to not have available WU.

Another one will have finished in 1 hour.

Well, I just started SMP2 and so far I have only finished 6 WUs. I have to try at least 5 times to get a WU and sometimes it can take up to 12 Hours to get the WU. I have -advmethods and passkey and enabled large WUs. I am just hoping that by the end of this month, the shortages of a3 WUs will be over.

I have it from a reliable source that several new SMP projects are coming online very shortly. We'll be busy for months.

Yes, but I included the modifier "very" which reduces that time frame substantially.
