 I have just added Rosetta to a new machine. I have not changed the run time so expected it to default to 3 hour runs. The first wu downloaded is estimating 6:48:27. Of course, I don't know what will happen when it runs, but that struck me as odd. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.  |

 Why 'predicted time' can be wrong Each WU delivered to your machine includes an estimated number of floating point (FP) calculations[fpops_est]. BOINC divides this by the FP benchmark number to estimate completion time. The RDCF will correct this calculation as your return wus.  |

 Crashed anyway Tony! Just figured with fixed run times, it would say 3 hours from the outset. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.  |

 Boinc has been configured to handle rosetta's individual way of doing things, and all projects don't keep up with the latest server versions either.  |
