Just a heads-up: it looks like they've been splitting 13fe08ac again (although I didn't notice it on the server status page, again). This time, they seem to have got it right - I bumped mine up to the head of the queue and it's running OK so far(10%).

So if you see 13fe08ac in your list, please don't just abort it unthinkingly. Look at the full task name - if it ends _0 or _1, it's ones of the new ones on their first release, and it should be OK. If it ends _5 or _6, it's been round the block a few times and it's on its last legs - kindest to put it out of its misery. Anything in between - check and decide!

Thanks for the heads up. I've got one of the new ones ending in-0. Hope it runs ok.

Nope don't have any so far, If I see any with a 0 or 1, I'll leave It be.

Quick note to anyone who took up the offer of the .bat file that I published:

That script looks for the error condition, not just at the file name, so it won't highlight any of the new 13fe08ac's if they do not contain the error condition. I.e. it is still a valid test for bad WU's (I have aborted only those identified by the script and have not had a single failure of a 13fe08ac).

That's about six minutes before I got mine. Now at 88% and crunching, but I've got to go out so I won't see it finish. It should report itself within half-an-hour, and y'all will be able to see the result for yourselves - that's one of the benefits of still having v5.10.13 on that machine!

Well I do have plenty of the aforementioned files(2, 3 & 10 or 15 total), But the script on each PC says that It can't find any bad ones, So I'm not worried. Oh and a slightly belated thanks for the info on what the script does.
