I have a simple question, with just a simple answer. Is this a bug? It's still just moving along as well. Visit us at Christianboards.org ID: 15765 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

LOL tony [edit] If I convert your IMG file to URL I get this which takes me to a main page I need to log in to. I don't have an account and wouldn't know where to look from there.

I see it's still using Rosetta 5.01, so it must be really old. Rosetta implemented a "watchdog" in 5.07, to AUTOMATICALLY catch and abort any stuck WUs, without a human intervention. So you shouldn't encountered any more such problems in the future. Btw I like to keep a short cache of WUs, by reducing BOINC's time to connect to project. Personally I use configurable runtime of 8hr per WU and connect-every=0.1days so I cache just 1-2 WUs at any moment.

The funny thing is that I'm using 5.2.13 on that computer. Visit us at Christianboards.org ID: 15799 · Rating: 1 · rate: / Reply Quote

Thanks for the info. I feel that I am somewhat illiterate when it comes to this software. I just run it hehe. Visit us at Christianboards.org ID: 15811 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The shorter connect time recommended by other users in this thread is also a good idea in terms of getting the latest versions of the Rosetta software. Rosetta has been updating frequently over the last few weeks to catch bugs and prepare for the CASP7 competitions. As for your system wasting time, you will receive at least partial credit (up to 300 points) for the work on that work unit.
