SETI: Result dropped?

[Ragic]

What does is mean when I get the message: "Result dropped 03no02ab.4303.5778.236092.97" in the SETIQ log? I have been seeing more of this latelt and seems to be losing credit for WUs.

I believe it means SETI received your WU twice. It's generally a good idea to let dropped results lie; otherwise it could look like you're cheating (a little).

This has in the past been caused by SETI giving out the same WU twice in a row. So it might help to slow down your receipt of WUs.

I have gotten 12 of these since Weds evening but didn't have any before and nothing has changed in my setup.

They weren't flagged as duplicates just drops..see below from setiq:

s@h/SStats/TotalWuDownload=403
s@h/SStats/TotalResultUpload=263
s@h/SStats/TotalResultDropped=12
s@h/SStats/TotalResultDuplicate=0

More info..it seems to be drop the results from only on system and get the following:

1:52am: s@h_wrk Sending Result: Seti@home status: Program modified
1:52am: Q0001 Seti returned: Program modified
1:52am: s@h_wrk Result dropped 02no02aa.687.28034.629824.139

Will restart the system and see if that helps.
