Due to server overload my clients get stuck on ready mode. Even after new work units are available it doesn’t go on untill I restart my pc.

There are several issues with this version. Maybe its time for a newer version. Wth the help of supponsors we can get better clients maybe a little more cosmetic to attract more users.

If it has had trouble downloading a WU (e.g. none available) then it has a timer after which it will try again to download. The timer seems to increase after each failed attempt, so if I want to "reset" it I just pause the relevant folding slot and then tell it to fold again.

I'm noticing that if the servers run out, the next attempt to download becomes progressively longer. (3min > 5m > 10m > 30m > 1hr > 3hrs < etc.) Usually this happens with I go to bed. Usually I just close and restart FAH and it resets the timers and I get a new WU much faster. But like mentioned above, they're running out because so many people are running FAH now, which is a good thing.
