Is the impression of hoarding created by the very high number of tasks shown as in progress for applications that have not issued tasks for some time and where the active users shows zero?

This, surely, is an historical issue of failed tasks that have not been crossed off the list of tasks outstanding.

Would it be possible to synchronise the number shown as outstanding which the number of tasks that are still being processed?

Have you ticked, "Stop running tasks when exiting the BOINC Manager?" If not the client keeps going in the background. If you don't have these options when exiting Manger, go to options>other options and enable Manager exit dialogue and client shutdown dialogue.

#877 and #878 have had all tasks waiting to go out withdrawn as many produce uploads greater than the limit allowed causing some to fail at 100% completion. They will be re-issued shortly.

Edit: Those already sent out will be left to run. Credit will be granted.

There's quite a few batches of those, with only a small number left in each one.
I had a look at a few; some are "stuck", but some have just started running, and are returning trickles.

I'll see what the project thinks about wiping everything.

And I have just picked up one from #843 as well. (On its fifth and final attempt.

There's been quite a few fails, and several hundred still running, (possibly not for the first time), so if you put your foot down and go for it, you're in with a chance. :)

Well, it looks like no one is against bigger uploads, so the researchers can go ahead with the current model.

Don't they require the 32-bit libraries too?
