Abort current WU

Post by Dirty_Harry_R900 »

Is there a way to abort a current WU and get a new one, without uninstalling the client? I was assigned to
Project: 9660 (1, 37, 133)
WU ETA: 2.00 days
Estimated Points: 677 -> 340 points per day. But usually it would be around 13k/day (GPU only)

So far it's the most extreme case I've seen, but certainly not the only one. Why doesn't the reward always reflect the workload? Thanks.

Yes, it is possible. But more importantly more information would be needed before recommending that. More likely is a bad setting on your system or another problem that can be corrected.

The Welcome topic - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26036 - provides directions on how to post information about your system and the folding log to the forum. That would include much of the necessary items to determine what the problem is.

Hello Dirty_Harry_R900, welcome to the Folding Support Forum.

If this is the first time the client has folded this project, the initial PPD estimates will be drastically incorrect until the client has completed 3-5 frames or percent of the work unit. Let it fold for an hour or two and see if the PPD changes.

I can see a point in not making it too easy to cherry pick projects...
