Things are getting better!

For most of the past few days, I've had conciderable idle resources ... trying to get new assignments. I know my system is configured correctly and it's just the unprecedented loads being put on FAH's servers by the sudden spike in the number of Donors (people) trying to help.
After being AFK for 24 hrs for this machine, I found it had crashed so I restarted it.
This machine:
Two GPUs plus two CPU slots.
Status after the restart:
CPU slots resumed processing WUs from previous checkpoints.
GPU slots started trying do download new assignments.
... followed by repeated messages like these with various values of xx.
18:42:11:WU01:FS02:Connecting to xx.xx.xx.xx:8080
18:42:12:WARNING:WU01:FS02:Failed to get assignment from 'xx.xx.xx.xx:8080': No WUs available for this configuration
but after 15 to 20 minutes, workable values for xx were found and both GPU slots started folding.
yes, 15 to 20 minutes is longer than folks will be happy with, but it's a lot better than the 15 to 20 hours i have seen over the past few days.
A big attaboy and Congratulations to all you FAH.org guys & gals who have been frantically working to get server capacity on-line and WUs that can be distributed by them.
