I have had this aborting task error on a LATeah job 167815242 running on computer 6398714 today, 3 others are now running with time remaining and percent complete inconsistent. The other Einstein jobs are OK - any suggestions please.

Yes, read this thread over in Tech News.

In short a mistake was made when the run time was extended so that the estimated crunch time is to short, if a task runs to long compared to the estimate Boinc aborts it thinking something is wrong with it.

Task that is estimated to run about 10 times longer than the previous normal should be fine.

Many thanks - I seem to have

Many thanks - I seem to have been looking in the wrong place.

It seems the best thing to is to abort them and they will be reissued with corrected elapsed time.
