	Pretty simple question :- I have a batch of units in my Error list. A couple are what I expected as I was fiddling with my settings then , but the vast majority turned up today. SENT. 14 Mar 2013, 15:45:54 UTC Time reported or deadline. 14 Mar 2013, 16:29:40 UTC Pretty much like the server gave me only 45 minutes to crunch them fron the time I got them. Server hic-up or something more my end. Regards. Chris. ____________

	From the Lunatics FAQs: http://lunatics.kwsn.net/1-discussion-forum/faq-read-only.msg40265.html#msg40265 Q: I have tasks in my task list, that timed out with an impossibly short deadline! A: Those tasks are VLAR and therefore won't be sent to a NVidia GPU. The following happened: Your host asked for work. The CPU got assigned some VLAR tasks (marked as .vlar in the task name). Due to a communication hiccup your host never received the server reply with the tasks. After a while it asks again for tasks. It also sends a complete list of what tasks it already has. The server compares this to what you got assigned. It finds those .vlar tasks you never got and - with 'resend lost results' active - wants to send them again. Only this time your host is asking for NVidia GPU tasks. As the .vlar tasks can't be send to NVidia GPU they expire instead - showing as time out with impossibly short deadline. NB This can also happen to AP tasks, if there is no GPU app. Claggy

[/quote] Thanks for the INSTANT reply :-) Why though would the units report so soon as they should in an ideal world only report when done or if they error from a propper error. I would have thought the server would have no interest in units untill a certain number of days had passed ...not after 45 minutes. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I am not a coder or do more that build my own PC's and crunch/serf/play games/work. :D ____________

	These are ghost vlar tasks that can't be resent to your GPU (they never reached your computer) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6598565&offset=0&show_names=1&state=6&appid= Read: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=67539 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=64332 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=69434 Edit: Wow, too late - several posts till I compose mine ;) ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)
