I just added them. Sorry for the omission.

I just checked and several of the 8 WU you have completed have now been also sent to other users. Others have not yet been sent to other users. The scheduler will try for 3.5 days to match these with users who already have the needed data file. Then after 3.5 days it will send them to the first users who have high-bandwidth internet connections.

They are guaranteed to be sent within 3.5 days of creation.

No, they are not in limbo, just waiting for 'the right user' to do the work.

Absolutely nothing -- you are doing everything right -- you have 8 successful workunits completed, and more underway. Don't touch anything, just be patient and you'll soon be accumulating lots of credit.

Thank you for running E@H!
