You are not alone, same problem here. 2 computers, rosetta says no work available while other projects seem to work just fine!

PS. On my main rig I noticed the last remaining task has been running for 47 hours and reports 83 hours to completion and the time to completion is going UP.

Click on the properties tab and look at the difference between elapsed and cpu time. If there is a large difference then you are going nowhere very slowly. In these situations I close down and restart boinc which usually does the trick.

yup, CPU time is 1.25 hours vs elapsed of nearly 50 hours. I'm trying to pull the other 2 units which appear to be unaffected out of the machine and then reboot.

Everything else seems to be normal. Thanks for the fast reply!

Your problem may be caused by checkpointing problems on that work unit. Sometimes a work unit won't create a checkpoint/save progress so you do 4 hours work, switch to a new task, switch back again and find you are on 4 hours elapsed with 0 hours cpu time as it has gone back to beginning. Repeat that enough times and you end up with your situation of 50 hours elapsed but minimal cpu time.

If the problem persists after you reboot then two possible solutions are to either turn on the "leave suspended tasks in memory" option or abort the task.
