Firstly, I have checked the FAQs with no results. I recently set up Rosetta on a machine that also has Einstein@home installed although I have no E@H work left as their project is down. Could my settings in E@H be effecting my Rosetta ability to supply the correct number of WUs for the machine? I made no adjustments to the preferences and my initial settings and began with 3 WU for a 2.2 64bit Athlon. The final job is 80% completed and I can't get additional work. I am on dialup and none of my machines are networkded. I have suspended E@H so Rosetta should be the only program active. I would like to run Rosetta if I could get it to work. Below are my general settings followed by Rosetta.

The key setting is the "Connect to network every...". I see you have 8-10 days set for all of your locations. Assuming you have updated your host with these settings, it believes it has at least 8 days of work already. If you disagree, it is probably due to BOINC's expectation for the amount of time your computer will be powered on in those 8-10 days. If it thinks your computer is generally on for 3 hours per day, then 8 days of work would be 24hours.

For now, just suspend the number of work units that you would like to download. Then update to the project. This should download more work. Then resume the tasks you held.

Since you are on dialup, you should set the Rosetta preference to have a long runtime as well. It will save on the number of internet connections needed to keep your machine busy.
