Richard-netpc has been crunching my stuff for a few days. I guess I didn't disconnect properly. Thanks for the heads up. I would say "don't worry about it, they'll disappear in a few days". Cheers :)

1) If a device is detached and then attached again -But- to a different account, no 'abort/detach message is sent,4 [phase 2 of the server/client confirmation comms]. So these will sit there until they expire.

2) If a device is detached and attached again, but under the same account -and- device is recognized as 'hey old pall', the server will actually see if they can resubmit the results to the same host, with the old deadline IIRC.

When doing 1 above, the expedient way is to abort any IP tasks first and then hit update [after setting 'no new work']. This will tell servers to resubmit to new hosts immediately. Same applies when e.g. re-imaging the host / doing clean install. Now, given the buffer depth won't have been more than a day, these IP will sit around for 9 more days, slowing down the batch completion. [At this stage of the game, not much of a concern to anyone ;]

Nuts,
I hit 8 years tonight,
no 10 years for me.
oh well,
I will switch to one of the new projects where I have 2 years only, (or both).

EDIT: Don't know what's wrong with my brain, I only hit 8 years today.
Anyway released 140 units back into the wild.
GL all.

10 years today, and have aborted all remaining tasks for the hunters out there; good luck all!

Only 17 more days of crunching to go at my current rate to get a diamond badge. I hope the supply and my queue holds up until then.

Congratulations everyone who have hit a milestone.

Cheers
