I suspect the server is just too busy and gives a generic error message that is not entirely helpful.
Keep trying, there are ongoing efforts to improve server capacity.

Many thanks for information.

Oh dear... If you persevere, I'm sure you'll get some WUs eventually... They're coming in spits and spats at the moment - but they DO come! :x

I've been online for about 24 hours, but continually get this in my log file:

WARNING:WU00:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '18.218.241.186:80': No WUs available for this configuration
ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Could not get an assignment

Is there a problem with my configuration? Or are there just no WUs available?

Thx.

Was available, but not enough servers to meet the much increased demand. More servers in the process of being configured - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33193

The way the client takes a longer time between each try can get to be too long. If it get s to be over several hours, Pause the folding client for a minute or two, and then start it again.

You can also post the beginning section of your log file and we can check it over to see if there is a configuration issue, there are direction on finding it and posting it depending on which OS you are using here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26036

Today, my F@H client program returned to "full normal", both send and receive.
The F@H team must've finished installing and configuring the new servers, I haven't had a single problem
today.
I hope and pray you'll give F@H a chance, we need each and every contributor in the war against the
Coronavirus!
Thanks.
