Why are we only given 3 days to report these tasks back? Some of us don't run super computers and don't have our computers running all day but want to help your cause. I think this is crappy. Give more time! SETI gives me 6 weeks! Though it has only taken 5-7 days at most I believe.

Look for the 100 other posts on this. The project needs the return time to be quick so the results aren't skewed. They actually would like 1 day. Also many don't have the money for a newer computer like yours. Mine is a p4.

Hi,

on my Andoid smartphone it takes only 30-40sec now. In the past my phone needed approx. 12h. Is there something wrong with the packages for native boinc?
