An overcommitted machine will also select the wu with the earliest due date, so may in fact leaving one "hanging" not to miss the deadline on another.

Solution: in General Preferences, lower the number of days between connections. 5-7 is usually about right for the machines you have.

overcommited = don't download any more work, the boinc project manager has determined you already have more than you need.

Ah, OK - that makes sense. Thanks! :)

Also, I just checked "messages" in KBoincSpy and noticed that at one point both projects were paused due to the computer being overcommitted. Given that the computer wasn't in use at the time - all it was doing was crunching - how could it be overcommitted? :huh:
