this 1% bug, i think, is a big turnoff for a lot of people. especially the ones with "farms" and can not get to them daily. i had 3 computers at my 2nd job that got stuck for 6 days last week. i reset them saturday and now it looks like 2 of them are stuck on 1% again for the past 2 days. our team is even talking about moving on to something else because of the 1% bug and wasted cpu cycles. we really like rosetta as a whole but it seems to require a lot more monitoring than other projects. hope it is solved soon.



I'm on the same team as Dorphas. I have a 'farm', the 1% issue is annoying, but the new work units that beging with 'FA' are truly awful. They hang randomly, 40%, 88% etc... overnight I had multiple machines spinning their wheels, as soon as they're freed they run into another. I can live with the 1% issue, it reared it's ugly head occaisionally and it is a bug. Bug's happen, and I know your working on it. But things seem to be getting worse, not better.

I have two remote machines that have not reported results in 2 weeks. One machine is 350 miles away, I just 'unstuck' it and it seems to have run into a problem on the very next w/u. Obviously it is hard for me to administer that particular machine easily, I will have to re-assign it to another project as I can't run back and forth checking it constantly.
