Task rb_o7_08_248_859_rs_stg0_lrlxjcst_t000__casp9_SAVE_ALL_OUT_21579_4211_0 started with 6:37:31 to completion and now shows 121:12 + to completion with a report deadline of 19 July (along with seven other rosetta tasks). Is this normal?

It doesn't sound like it is getting any CPU time. Are other things running?

Select the task in the tasks tab of the advanced view, then click properties. What does it show for CPU time?

sounds like you got a program running in the background eating up resources..

Edit: May i ask, how much Cpu do you have dedicated to the boinc to use?

I recommend Secunia PSI: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/

I see you are using one of the newest version of Boinc, go into Boinc Manager, the icon on the taskbar, and right click on it and open it. Then click on Advanced, Preferences and then click on the processor usage tab. Change he setting that says "While processor usage is less than" to zero. It is probably set at the default of 25, meaning that anytime your cpu is being used at 25% or more Boinc stops crunching! Setting it to zero means that Boinc will go back to crunching 24/7/365, which is how most people want, and expect, it to crunch and your times should go back down to where they used to be.
