My computer's been trying to finish a task called '428-GIANNI_FB-0-100-RND4078_1 using acemd version 664' for 4-5 days now. Normal tasks seem to take about a day. It makes good progress for a while, then seems to get stuck and none of the figures move, even though the task shows as running.

Exiting/relaunching the BOINC manager gets it back unstuck for a while. Finally over the course of 10-12 exits/relaunches throughout the weekend, it finally finished.

I don't normally pay that close attention to a task's progress, so I don't know if this a Normal Thing or not, nor do I know whether it would have gotten unstuck by itself.

When I exit/relaunch the % complete will drop slightly. For instance, it may read 99.321%, then when I relaunch, it'll read that upon load, but within a few seconds it'll drop to 99.210%.

Is this something I should keep an eye on, or is there something strange going on with that type of task?

Thanks,
Eugene

Yes that's the job that eventually finished. I probably was running about 18 hrs/day.
Thanks for your response.
