Percentage goes backwards

Post by Avi_R »

I just started folding earlier today, but I noticed that so far, whenever the percentage of the WU completed gets to around 16%, it drops back down to 12%. Is this supposed to happen? If not is there a way I can fix it?

Welcome to the folding support forum.

Yes, this will happen when folding is interrupted. When the folding starts again it will be from the last checkpoint created, that can be several percent of progress in the past.

Please post more details from the log (how to do so) ...
