Thank you so much for fixing the problem! It looks like the project might still run out of work though... Since the problem was fixed yesterday, the tasks ready to send have gone from 212K down to 130K...

One thing is for sure: this whole incident has taught me how important the task cache is. (I'm a control freak, so I set the cache to 0 so it would download as-needed)

THE END IS NEAR!!! There are currently only 61,649 tasks ready to send, and there are 148,433 tasks in progress! The average time to process tasks is 2.73 hours! This means that the project will run out of work very soon, possibly even tonight!

Then I'm guessing you also have a secondary project setup that will automatically kick in when Asteroids goes down again? I personally have a total 3/4 day cache and then a secondary project set at 0% that automatically gets tasks when my primary project doesn't send me enough units. When my primary project is back up and running again, the secondary project automatically stops sending me units. Of course when BOTH go down, as happened this time, I am just out of units until I set it up to get units from another project.
