1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Boinc manager : force a task to run now (Message 7560) Posted 9 Dec 2008 by kriki Post: In the tab "Tasks" of the Boinc manager, there is the possibility to Suspend a task. But it would be nice to have a button to force a task to run (also stopping another if needed) or to change the priority of the task to high. Why? It happens I have a task that will finish in a few minutes but because of the swapping between tasks it will not be relaunched for a long time. There is a way 'simulate' this and that is to suspend all the other tasks and after that to undo the suspension, but this is a little 'overkill'.

4) Message boards : MilkyWay@home Science : Tasks with over 400 hours "To completion" finish afer 1 hour (Message 7540) Posted 8 Dec 2008 by kriki Post: I have some strange "problem": When I get a task from milkyway@home, it says that it needs 400 to 500 hours to complete. Like today (8/12/2008) I have a task that should complete before 11/12/2008, but it will take about 480 hours. The Boinc manager runs it in high priority (480 hours and it has to be finished in 3 days!). But after little more than 1 hour it has finished. Is this a bug or is this a way to 'speed up' the calculation of the milkyway@home-tasks, giving them higher priority over other projects?
