In the last couple days, I've been able to download 20-30 units. That's great (particularly when compared to the whole week before that).

But the last six downloaded units are showing a "Time to Completion" that is exactly SIX times the estimate for each of the other units in my queue.

This "problem" also happened several weeks ago, but eventually went away.

So, has it been "turned on" again? Or is this just another "misconfigured scheduler" that causes this?

(I know it's not a big deal; they will still run in the normal amount of time. I'm just wondering if it's a symptom of some config problem at the server end.)

Hi,
it seems these wus are resent. Take a look at the last figure of the workunits names (should be a number mostly >3), because this number indicates how many times a wu is sent out.

Ah, yes. I hadn't noticed before, but those units do end with "4" or "5".
Thanks for the explanation! :)
