Got a work unit running shortly after posting.

No but last few days & especially last night & the early AM hours - I just could not catch a break & was in the Same painful spot till about 6 AM, slow Up & down loads of the FAH files ...
 
if I could even get a WU assigned - the download servers 140.163..4.231 was "helping" me ..... I lost Hours of time across 10 GPU, last few days

I switched my next-unit-percentage to low 90s so it could get a WU before the current one ended and it has helped to minimize downtime. Lots of connections failing and lack of available WUs on some servers it seems.

Is the lack of work units due to the increased public awareness of Covid-19?

Maybe the school is closed and people are not around to fix problems right away? 
Just a guess. They are closing schools around here for a couple weeks, bet Stanford is doing the same.
 

Having the same issues. I can't get a WU right now. I wonder if it is from the influx of users due to the COVID-19 advertising that's been happening.

A lot of people on Facebook are saying that they aren’t getting work units.

Just now ... receiving "HTTP SERVICE UNAVAILABLE" error messages on GPU jobs. Anyone else getting this error?

 +1 After I removed all client-type flags ... still no Dice = "HTTP SERVICE UNAVAILABLE"
 
     "No WU available for this configuration" .... [beta] ........ &  [Advanced]
 
 
spotty WU at best .... last night early this AM ..... No WU for any of 10 GPU
 
Somebody go kick some cans @ Stanford ..... PC or maybe people ...
 
They also need more servers & Bandwidth...... 
 
apparently the call for help for CV-19 has been the death of them ?
 
  It is NOT You Computer .... system Wide Stanford snafu
