I noticed that at 21:10:43, there were 3 project descriptions, 7020, 7611 and 7904 being downloaded.

Is there any significance, for example, are the 3 projects going to be downloaded and queued in the background, once my current WU finishes?

I will not be using the computer for a while, say about 1 to 2 days, so I would not want to have WUs queued in my system while my PC is shut down for a short period, as I understand any delay in sending back completed WUs is generally frowned upon.

I did not notice any such downloadings during my previous WUs, so any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Version 7 does download a new WU before the current WU is completed. The default is <next-unit-percentage v="99" /> meaning that if you don't change anything, a new WU will be downloaded when the current WU passes 99%. If you set the slot(s) to Finish before it reaches that point, no new WU will be downloaded and the current WU will be completed an uploaded before sitting idle so you can shut your computer down with a clean conscience.

The messages that you're asking about are not telling you that a new project has been downloaded, only the description of the current projects.

Thanks for the quick reply. I needed to shut down the PC for a day or two, was worried that there will be WUs being kept in my system waiting to be folded.

Now I can switch my PC off, then switch the PC on when I am back and continue to fold. I set the slot to finish when the WU was on 96%, so I can safely shut down my PC.
