According to the setiathome website (see technical news for 7th February), there's an enhanced client that uses a workunit that takes much more processing (with a commensurate increase in credit for each one). This was designed to reduce the load on their servers (the technical news talks about client transfer loads between 40Mbps and saturated Fast Ethernet before this). Unfortunately, they don't mention version numbers. -- Peter Jeremy
