Great to see BOINC rolling again. Despite the current teething problems this is going to be much better in the longer term!

Yeah, but what's with the 6x longer timed 'To Completion' workunits? I thought I'd read that that particular problem had been fixed, and now here they are again.

Most of this box's workunits show 07:22:30, then the last several arrive tagged 44:15:02. I mean, don't get me wrong; I'm thrilled to have any workunits to crunch at all. It's just that now I likely won't have enough of them to get me through the next drought.

And that'll be my only whine for tonight. You've all been great, and don't forget to tip the waitstaff.

The "long" WU you have comes from one WU where no 3 results has been uploaded. As Boinc needs 3 results back from 1 WU, if there is one result missing, this WU is send once again to one other PC in order to get 3 different results and to award credit.
