5910 (Run 14, Clone 84, Gen 4)

After returning to an EUE'd folding farm I pulled 3 out of 4 of the exact same WU.

Already verified that the GPUs have different machine IDs, but they would have been pulled to the same IP all within the same minute. Is this normal, or is there something wrong with the WU server?

Don't worry about it in the case of core 14 projects. The PRCG coding doesn't work quite the same way as for other projects; they're still doing useful work.

Shutdown two of the clients, deleted both the queue dat file and the Work folder (checked for old files first), restarted the clients, and they both pulled exactly the same WU again!!!!

What gives? Didn't look like the WU was downloaded again, is the work file no longer saved in the work folder?

Will I still get points for the individual projects? These are mediocre PPD in the first place.

Yes, you'll get points for them. the server knows what files it assigned and which ones are actually assigned.

If you move files from one computer to another or you try to get points that you didn't earn (such as restoring a backup and then uploading the same result a second time) it won't give credit. Just let the clients run and you'll be fine.
