I've had a workunit which I completed in December. The second host it was sent to timed out last week. The third host reported today, and it says the client state is "Cancelled by server", with an outcome of "Redundant result".

Will I ever get credit for this workunit?

Thanks

It looks like the result was sent out to yet another host. Hopefully he'll get it completed and reported on time so you can get your credit.

(Though this isn't the longest people have gone without getting credit, I've read about people still having pending credit since October.)

Thanks. I'm still curious as to why something was declared redundant when it wasn't....

Well it was declared redundant on Feb. 12th, which was four days before you returned your result. Any more than two workunits out and the server will declare the extras "redundant".
