I lost about 6,000 Credits on 6 Wu's because after 20 Hr's running time I had to re-boot a computer & when starting BOINC & the 6 Wu's back up again the 6 Wu's started with 0 Time and I was only credited with the time from when I re-booted ... Below are 6 Normal Time Wu's & the 6 Short time Wu's that ran just as long as the longer ones but because the Checkpointing didn't work they received shorter times & Credit.

Sigh, more wasted Time ... The Wu's showing over 100k Seconds were within Minutes of finishing when they all got Computation Errors ... This is a Linux Box

Yes I confirm too that checkpointing doesn't work, this is very annoying for the 64h workunits, please consider dealing with this issue.
Thanks
I've managed 20+ Wu's in a row now without Error or Lost Time on the Linux side by moving the PC to a different room to where it has a Constant Wireless Connection. The Problem before was that Linux would lose it's Wireless Connection every so often & BOINC would stop running. I would have to re-boot the PC to get it (BOINC) running again which would result in either lost time because the Checkpointing wouldn't take off where it left off but restart at 0:00 Time again to either a Computation Error or the Wu would finish with a shorter run time than what it really was. Since moving the Box several days ago I haven't had another Error or work stoppage (Knock on Wood) ... http://dg.imp.kiev.ua/slinca/results.php?hostid=2422&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3
I Still haven't finished a single Wu under Windows XP 64-Bit without error (Usually after the Wu get's over 95% done) I try each new release but get the same dismal results each time ...
I have two WUs running, one in Win XP 32 bit and another in Win7 64 bit (BOINC is 32 bit). The remaining time in both WUs appear to be not reducing. It's been around 13-14 hours for a quite a long time now.
In Win XP, it's running for last 18 hours with remaining hours around 14 hours. In fact I see the remaining hours increasing one second as every second passes.
In Win7, it's running for last 15 hours with remaining hours around 13 hours. Here also, I see the remaining hours increasing one second as every second passes.
Not sure, if the remaining hours just resets back to 13 or 14 hours after it keeps increasing upto a certain point.
Here are the WU ids
333607 - Win XP
333533 - Win7
Just wondering if this is related to the checkpoint issue. I was hoping that the checkpoint issue is already solved, given this thread is almost an year old now.
