I left host 431125 to "allow new tasks" for a couple of hours last night and it downloaded over 900 WUs! I'll let it work through as many as possible over the next week without aborting. I couldn't restart as many of the existing units were M Queens which seem to start again from scratch if you rebo...

As I said above: I've temporarily set my windows boxes to accept siever WUs only to see if they will all observe the storage limits set in the preferences for one type of WU. But, that host can't download any from the server as it has reached a "daily quota of 40 results" and communication has been ...

Just noticed that another host has downloaded an unexpected number of long work units: ID 430461 Preferences were set to 0.1 day's storage + an additional 0.5 days and it will only ever process a maximum of 4 work units at a time. It now has 389 work units queued to start. Most of them appear to hav...

That host is currently crunching 6 SRBase CPU work units and has downloaded a further 17. This seems reasonable as, even if all cores were busy with BOINC, there would be less than 60 work units stored in total.

This machine's RAC has been poor for the last few months -- performing no better than 12 core i7 PCs when it has 20 cores. I think that it must have been clogged with really long WUs and many of them going over deadline. I've aborted all work that isn't in progress and have switched projects so that...

At midnight last night the machine had about 40 WUs estimated at under 3hrs each. I enabled new tasks and watched two uploads that each resulted in the download of one new WU. Got up this morning and there are another stupid number of WUs that have been downloaded. 414 Cruncher OGR with a deadline o...

Very curious :) I can't see how it could miscalculate the processing times so badly that it had downloaded 524 WUs with estimated processing times greater than 2 days -- and a deadline of November 4th! And, at the same time, not miscalculate the time it takes to crunch SRBase GPU tasks... Unless it ...

This machine has been crunching Yoyo since 2018 without any issues. I noticed last week that there were hundreds and hundreds of one particular WU type -- can't remember which right now -- so changed the storage settings from 0.5 days to 0.1 days and then aborted most of the WUs. Looked again yester...

I posted the settings for that host's BOINC client: store 0.1 days + an additional 0.1 days. All other projects honour those settings, apart from Yoyo. According to BAM that host had 45147:30:23 of work left to process! Did my computer really ask for 162531023s work? I note that there is also a max ...

My computer has BOINC set to store 0.1 days of work and 0.1 additional days. I've just had to abort 524 WUs that were each estimated to take more than 2 days each and a further 235 WUs that were set to take more than one day each -- and that still leaves hundreds more to process that require less th...

So the message to Mac users is that we need to move to other projects if upgrading to Catalina or newer OSs?
