Are these more of the bogus work units? i thought credit is time multiplied by your benchmark... guess not.

7,500 to 10,000 seconds of work usually gets me 50 to 75 credit

You need to link this to Hope not to see anymore of these! so that Richard can add to his list, if he hasn't got the already.

That's OK, I can pick them up from here - they all qualify, and they're all new.

Credit as time*benchmark became obselete with the release of the first 'Enhanced' application, in May 2006 - about 16 months ago. I think you've got a bit of a backlog in your forum reading to catch up on, LOL.

i guess i would be better off with the mac app which just errors out on anything which isn't going to give maximum credit.

by the way your answer is a bit of being a jerk.

Hmmm. I don't usually pay much attention to how work is progressing, but I seem to have a work unit that is 59 hours and only 0.014% complete. Is this one of the work units in question? How do I find out?

Thanks.

Well, we can't check from here, because your computers are hidden: but it seems very likely that it's one of the problem ones. If you're really interested, we could talk you through it, but on the whole I'd just abort it and move on.

Eric has got the message about the problems these are causing, and is going to look into the chances of getting them erradicated from the system: but it's not the top priority for a holiday weekend.

And it shouldn't be.

My apologies - I just saw the batch file part of the earlier posting (I haven't had my coffee yet). The <triplet_thresh> is indeed negative. The info is resultid=602169690 wuid=147494751. It's been aborted.
