Astropulse processes the signals Seti is looking at in greater detail than the standard MultiBeam work.....and as such takes much longer to compute. You can ask for more detail if you would like..... But for now, I would let the Astropulse complete....from what I have read, even if you report after the deadline, there is still a good chance you will eventually get credit for it, and your computer time will not be wasted.... You can also go into your preferences, under 'Seti@Home preferences', and select not to receive more Astropulse work in the future, if you wish. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

At the bottom of the preference page you edited to disallow AP work in your default preferences, you will see 'add separate preferences for.......' home, school, work.... Choose one of them and add it.... Then edit it to match your usual preference settings, except tell this one to allow AP downloads. Then go to back to your account page and click on 'your computers'... Click the computer ID of the rig that you want to do the AP work. Scroll to the bottom of the page and change the location of the computer to the new preference location that you just added, and hit the update button. It should now allow just the computer on that location to get AP work, while leaving any others on your default settings set to not get any AP. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."
