Hi guys,

since i'm running LHC@Home workunit i observed a strange thing.

When the workunit for 8cpus (that is a vm for virtualbox runned by boinc) is about at 80%, the workunit jump to 100% completed and sent to server...

I did a little video if someone want to see with his eyes... (https://vimeo.com/405758846)

It's all ok ?

Pretty sure all is OK. a number of projects (don't ask me to remember which) have over the years had tasks where the percentage complete is far from linear with respect to time. I suspect more people might notice this at the moment due to the corona virus and having more time on their hands!

GPU Grid does the same.

However, there are 2 case scenarios,
The first like GPU grid, where the counter just gets updated infrequently, hence the jumps in percent.

The other, which I also have observed, where the counter seems to count just fine, and promptly flick to 100%.
While I tend to believe it's an error, I haven't seen any log entries mentioning errors.
