Hi all my question is I am running seti@home and I have enough work for several days but it seems that when they were downloaded they were small. I have been cruching the same one for about ten hours now could it be a problem with how much work I have got or could the time till completion just be an estimate? I am using a celeron 1.3 gig with 512 ram.

Time is always an estimate since it is based on several factors, speed of the cpu, speed of the ram, speed of the motherboard, speed of the combination of all of the above AND whatever else you happen to be doing with the computer while it is crunching. If you are playing games then it wil lcrunch slower because it only uses available cpu cycles. If you are otherwise using them they are not avaialble to Boinc.
