The previous 5 workunits I have got have all been 11 hour 40 minute ones.

However I just got one that is estimated to take 1 day 10 hours 38 minutes (EcA3397-TEST12-0-5-acemd)

Just wanted to make sure if workunit size had increased?

Running on:
AMD 64 x2 6000+
Zotac 8800GT AMP! Edition
4GB DDR2
Ubuntu 8.04 x64 (Wubi Install)
Nvidia 7.13 drivers

No, compute time will be the same, but I have increased the estimated time. This is based on the CPU speed, so not really reliable.

Ahh cool :)
Did kind of notice it just now as after 40 mins working the time had gone down 3 hours :)
Was this done to stop boinc from asking for work (that it won't get) all the time?

Can you please increase the deadline time for the workunits.
Since I seem to keep getting 3 at a time, and they are estimated to take 38 hours on this computer (they take close to 13 hours using a 8800GTX).
With the 4 day deadline Boinc is starting to panic a bit as it thinks I will not do the workunits in time.

Thanks.

Edit:
Now I have 4 of them :(

Yet on my other computer it always says:
PS3GRID | Message from server: No work sent
PS3GRID | Message from server: (reached per-CPU limit of 1 tasks)

I have reduced the estimated time for new WUs. You may still get some of the old one in the meanwhile.

Let me know how it goes in a few days.
