Sequential Workunits

Not an issue, just never noticed this before.
I've been processing 6904's for a small while now and I just noticed that I've been getting EXACT sequential numbered workunits on one specific machine. I'm not totally sure how many but pretty sure at least my last 4 wu have been sequential.(since I loath pausing clients to do anything like checking with the -queueinfo flag. )
Concidence or just intended?

Bit of both. The WU you upload is used to create the next one so it is possible to get WUs in sequence. It's happened to a lot of us. If I look back in my queues I can see numerous instances where this has been the case. Nothing to be concerned about. :ewink:

Nothing to worry about if it is v6 client, I might add. By default, v7 downloads a new WU when the current one is at 99%. Even if you set next-unit-percentage to 100%, typically the download will start before the finished WU gets uploaded. AFAIK, Stanford servers can't create gen N+1 WU until gen N is fully uploaded.
