Hello,

I am using Win 10, Boinc 7.14.2

Today the WUs reaching 100% but staying active and upload don't start.

I don't get any Info about an error.

Should I cancel the WUs?

Best regards

Hi folks!

If I understood right, you see a situation like this. It's not often, but a usual situation. Some tasks - is significantly larger, than others.

Thank you for participation!

It is perfectly normal in this project, the % is based on the average number of steps a WU has to do. But before crunching a WU it's unknown exactly how many steps must be done to complete it, so some WUs are shorter and some are longer.
When you see a 100% WU still crunching and active, it's just because it's longer than the average, but it's ok. You probably noticed how shorter WUs just jump at 100% when they are completed. Same explanation, they had less steps to crunch.

Maybe related to this issue?
Strangely, only starting today, tasks error out with "given up" status and no error report in the relevant tasks.

Michael.
