Hi, wow... I haven't posted here in a long time.
Anyway, I recently got hooked on the distributed computing, particularly folding@home.
So, there I was busy drawing on the computer with folding in the background. When all of a sudden, out comes the little window saying that the WU is completed.
So, I think to myself... amazing! Why? Because I have been running p607 for approx. 3 hours.... (this is a 7 pointer). So I connect, only to realize that it was only 25% complete
I check the log, and it says that it was a "faulty work unit." I was a little annoyed. I basically lost 3 hours, along with 25% of the WU, and had to start it back up from scratch.
So, to get to the point: How often do these faulty work units appear? Do they usually appear at a certain time during the processing of the WU? Has it happened to you? I've been running it for only a few days, so I'm not sure if this is usual.
Thanks,
Tomasz
