1) Message boards : Number crunching : Anybody ever have this happen? (Message 41758) Posted 2 Jun 2007 by Rob Post: So, there I was, watching my Rosetta@home crunching away and it's getting close to the time when it should be reporting the information back to the mothership. At about 15 minutes remaining to complete the current task my machine starts to download a new work unit. I'm thinking "Cool, it's working!". Then I notice that the first task has stopped crunching. Frozen at 12 minutes. I can't figure what the problem is so I go to the advanced menu and click "retry communication". This does nothing. Then I go to the Projects tab of Rosetta and click update, thinking that this might wake up the machine. When I go back to the Tasks tab I notice that the current task is now at about 70% finished instead of being almost completed. The time remaining is now 7hrs+. What happened? Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I think this may be the second time this has happened. Is my machine doomed to work the same task over and over again? Thanks in advance, Jingy
