Hi,
I have a wu that has been working away, for two days, at something but has never gone past 24% complete. I have a reasonabley quick computer that compleates most in around four or five hours. Is this normal or has something gone wrong, if so what can I do about it?

thanks

Stephen

Shut down Boinc and restart it. That usually clears or restarts an errant WU.

It's not right, but you're not the first one to notice it.

Best advice seems to be to try re-starting BOINC (full file|exit, not just minimise to tray), and see if it starts making progress again. If it does, just let it run: if you don't see any progress after the re-start, abort the WU and let the machine get on with the next one.

if a restart reboot doesnt clear it up

i would abort ,as there is no way a times 40 factor of increase in wu time is anything other than an issue
