How do I get rid of a borked WU?

As the title says I have project 772 worth 149 points but for some reason it is taking an age to complete, can I delete this WU and get another as its telling me its going to take two weeks :eek:

If you really feel the need to get rid of it then just stop the client, nuke the work folder and restart the client.

Are you sure there is a problem and it's not just something to do with the GPU client [if you are running it] or something else nicking CPU time?

Hey Sirius, no I'm not running the GPU client on that machine and also I have the same WU on another similar machine that saying completion in a day and a half, must be borked.

Nuke it then. Tis only a tiny WU - Stanford might not notice

Thats weird, removed work file, recieved exactly the same WU but with a 2 days completion instead of 2 weeks. Result.

that would be my guess - restarting the client would have got SSE working again anyway

it's best to use the -forceasm flag to avoid things like this (caused by messy restarts/crashes) unless you're already using -forceasm in which case the WU may have got corrupted or something

forceasm is on all my machines, tried restarting didn't do anything, must have been a borked WU
