Things were moving along just fine. I could observe the numbers changing. There were usually 2 or 3 new units ready to process. Now, suddenly there are 7 waiting and the one that's processing has been stuck with the same numbers for at least 24 hours. ???

I had to shut down the computer temporarily and when BOINC started up again, it was working just fine. Go figure.

It's all voodoo. Along the same line as you described, I had something (don't remember if it was Einstein... which is quirky enough already) that, when running, would show the CPU time increasing (as it should), the "Progress" constant (for hours and hours, if not days), and "To completion" INCREASING!! (With that, the "Progress" being constant was probably mathematically correct.)

These guys may be brilliant scientists, but programmers? Ummm. Musta been one of those "lowest bidder" deals.
