You would thing that Rossetta would get smaller work automatically <-1 day, 12 hours when it has no work larger than 1 day, 12 hours to get for months.

I have settings at 1 day 12 hours. Should be automatically you would think.

Note: I set to 2 hours and got work.

There is no "1 hour work" or "1 day and 12 hours" work.
Each task can be set to run anywhere from 1 hour to 36 hours.

"All tasks are equal" until they are assigned to a device in which case they'll run for as long as the runtime setting is at +10 hours until the watchdog kills it (in case of a bad WU).

You can even change the runtime of a task while it's running by changing the runtime setting and then updating Rosetta@home on your BOINC client.

I don't think the Pythons use this setting but I could be wrong.

I have seen pythons run for so long that they time out before finishing.
