According to the setiathome website (see technical news for 7th
February), there's an enhanced client that uses a workunit that takes
much more processing (with a commensurate increase in credit for each
one).  This was designed to reduce the load on their servers (the
technical news talks about client transfer loads between 40Mbps and
saturated Fast Ethernet before this).  Unfortunately, they don't
mention version numbers.
