First task errored on computer crash.

This is my second task. Each time I checked task progress, % was increasing until it jumped from approx 49% to approx 97% (in 15 mins) and is now decreasing.

Waiting to see what happens.

Has anybody else seen this?

This is typical on new installations of BOINC. There's a learning period while BOINC determines how fast your system is in a real world sense by actually crunching workunits. It will take about a week or more to even itself out.
