Re: Too short deadlines

Just came here to ask similar things. So is there no way I can simply abandon a work unit, so it can be released to someone else? I've completed two work units so far, so my old machine is perhaps not completely useless, but the current WU has an ETA of 4.32 days while the deadline is 3.61 days, so ...

Re: Points on Web Control, but no donor stats

Thanks again all. the stats server is the oldest, crankiest, server they have. Stats are frequently broken or late. I would suspect it will be a month before you show up in the stats, and if it takes 5 days to get 1000 points you may never show up on the stats. Most of my Work Units on my slowest PC...

Points on Web Control, but no donor stats

I've been running this since last Monday, and on my Web Control it says I've 992 "Estimated Points". But on the donors page I get "No Results" when I search on my name. Have I not yet completed a work unit, hence I simply have to wait for a few more days? My Folding@Home username...
