failure to download new work units - unknown server

Windows 7
Clients: SMP2, 6.34

Over the last week I've had three different clients (3 different machines, 4 instances, total) fail to download new work units after successfully uploading completed SMP2 -bigadv work units. The CPUs would remain at idle, for up to a couple hours or more, waiting for downloads. In each case, four separate incidences if I recall correctly, to resolve the problem, I had to stop the Folding client, remove the -bigadv flag from the startup shortcut, and restart the client. Each time I performed this action, the client immediately downloaded a new work unit. Sorry, I don't have time right now to dig through the logs and extract the server particulars.

Not a complaint - just thought I should report this (thanks, gwildperson).
