I have a question about how the distributed.net server sends the workunits to users.

Let's say that there are 1 billion keys available.

The server sends the WUs sequentially, like:

first user request, server sends a WU with keys from 1 to 32;
second user request, server sends a WU with keys from 33 to 64;
third user request, server sends a WU with keys from 65 to 96;
fourth user request, server sends a WU with keys from 97 to 128;
and so on...

Or the server doesn't send the WUs sequentially, like:

first user request, server sends a WU with keys from 33 to 64;
second user request, server sends a WU with keys from 481 to 512;
third user request, server sends a WU with keys from 353 to 384;
fourth user request, server sends a WU with keys from 609 to 640;
and so on...

I think the server uses the last approach.
