evo 1.12 Doomed Never To Finish?

[ex_brit]

Just noticed my latest work unit resets itself to 0% progress every time I reboot, which I do at least once a day.
(I always make sure that BOINC is shut down properly before doing that as a double precaution).
I have 'yes' next to "Leave application in memory while suspended" in settings.
The deadline for this is today and I doubt very much it will ever get there.
It's been as high as 26% I think - yesterday, and I left it on all night purposely.
Now it is at just above 3% despite being left running continuously.

Comments anyone? Something wrong with the back-end servers perhaps?

Well, this is normal behaviour for a project that does not support checkpointing.
You will need to keep your machine running until a WU is completeley finished or choose to support another project.

Hmm, and I thought most people tried to save the Planet by shutting down their machines at least once a day.
(Apart from it being essential for Windows to do certain maintenance tasks and often mandatory when something is updated).

OK I'll have to move on to something else I guess. Do you have projects that do checkpoint?

Do you have projects that do checkpoint?

Well, fortunately most projects do.
