My machine just downloaded 2 extra WUs, and the \"To Completion\" time on both is only 275 hours.

Wus are named:

1sl4000104560_0
1sl5000104561_1

My current WU name begins with 238, with a \"To completion\" time of 450 odd hours.

Are these different Wus? Or just me being new to CPDN?

All WUs are the same size. In my experience the time to completion for a newly downloaded job is always way too low, but adjusts fairly rapidly when it starts.

Given that both your registered computers are single processor systems I'd guess that <b>Keep enough work</b> might be set a bit too high in your preferences.

You should shorten up your queue a little bit. BOINC downloads enough work to overfill the queue. The 4.x behavour appears to be somewhat different. You might discover that it downloads enough work from each project to fill the 14 day queue.
