1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : work unit too big? 1 year to est. complete (Message 17506)

Thanks for the quick answer. I\'m a seti-guy at heart and have now joined a total of 5 projects w/BOINC, so this work unit is only getting about 20% of my spare CPU time. So to get this straight, as far as you are concerned, if it takes me a year to return this workunit, it\'s still useful to the project? I kind of feel like the \"long pole in the tent\".

my 1st workunit is about 117mb and est completion is Nov-2006(about 1 year). it\'s worked 9 hours and < 1% done. How to I drop this workunit and get another one. My other clients are working cpdn units much smaller. Should I detach and re-attach? It\'s some kind of suphur_cycle. 1492 hours predicted or about 62 days of CPU. Or should I let it run(i\'m game if that\'s what it takes)? I tried aborting, but that was a mistake, it just reset the unit to work again from the start. Currently it is suspended.
