When I download certain projects, e.g. Moo!Wrapper, the numbers in the "Remains" column seem to be adding time rather than steadily diminishing until the project is complete. Also, it takes much longer to process. In other words, if a given project indicates that the estimated time is, say, 1:40 minutes it can take 15 hours or more to complete the process. Is this due to something on my end? Thanks for any helpful input. |

BOINC needs to find out how fast your computers are, the estimates at the beginning might be very wrong. On projects not using a local DCF (duration correction factor) you need to return 10 valid results for each app to get quite good estimates, on projects using it it will just slowly get to the right value. |

Another problem for you could be that your pc only has 8gb of ram in it, that's what the Manufacturer thinks is plenty for everyday stuff but once you start crunching you will find things running slower especially if you use all 4 of your cpu cores when running the tasks. |
