Get the newbie some help to debug these WUs.

In general, we move in the described topics in science with Gaia@home.
Aps 1,2,3 are related to the Gaia EDR3 catalogue
Aps 4,5,6 are related to the Gaia DR3 catalogue
Aps 8, 9 are searches stellar close approaches for binary system of star.
Aps 20 is related to the influence of the stellar close approache of a star on the structure of the solar system.
Very interesting. Thank you

I am starting create about 140000 wus ....

Would enjoy hearing more about what you're working on, e.g. what's the difference between the aps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 20. And/or updating the Science page: http://150.254.66.104/gaiaathome/about.php

And it would be nice if we could specify how many WUs to DL.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Wrong calculation base for credits - please use CPU-time instead of run time (Message 217)

I cannot think of a single BOINC project where it makes sense to run more than one WU per CPU logical thread. It increases the chance of returning inaccurate results. This project doesn't even use confirmation, i.e. Quorum = 1. They would not run faster if you use <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>.
This projects awards 200 credits per completed WU regardless of how long it took to run.
Implementing credit that is proportional to CPU run time would be nice.
Even better would be to implement checkpointing.
Also nice would be badges.

Until you learn how to implement checkpointing you could add the pulldown option in Preferences to only download 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or unlimited.

When will you implement checkpointing???
Over 4 hours per WU with no checkpointing. I'd do a lot more work for you if you had checkpointing.
