Running 5.4.9 on an off-line Linux system. Had occasion to *reduce* the queue size (time between connects) parameter at the website. When I next (at the client) UN-suspended network activity, the client immediately asked for more work, based on the *previous* queue size value it knew about. (I manually clicked on 'update', but by then the server had already received the request for more work.) What I'd like to see is for the client, in its initial RPC requesting work, to "pass along" the queue size value on which that work request was based. __IF__ the server finds that *its* 'queue size' value is different, the server would ignore that initial request for work, but would respond with the NEW 'queue size' value. The client would then recalculate its work request, and submit it anew. (Now the request would be accepted by the server, since the 'queue size' value it "passed along" was current.) . |

You could click on "No new work", then click on Update. That should get the changes sorted out. Then click on "Allow new work". |

You could click on "No new work", then click on Update. Thanks for the tip. . |
