Hi friends, i am very happy in my 5 WU.:D
The first machine, server, is a XP 2000 with 512 cable modem. The second one , client (using a network and internet sharing) is a XP 2000, too.
Both folding. What happens if the client finishes and the server is offline ? iT will can not connect, so i would loose the fold ?
Sorry for mu engish.

if ure running an updated client it should queue the results and send them when it can... you wont lose ure WU's.. cept it wont be able to pull a new one down if it finishes while the server is off

Yes, if the client is sharing an internet connection through the server and the server is down the client will not be able to send the WU. It won't be able to download a new one either. It will hang onto it until it sees an internet connection then send it in. But each WU has a deadline, so you want it to be sent in before the deadline.. They are listed here.
