I had a down load of 170 Hrs of work in one module to be completed in 2 weeks which is not possible. Previously the modules were 4 hrs 8 hrs 16 hrs etc now one module is 170 hrs, is there some thing wrong, I suppose some where.

This is a workunit sent to a Pentium III of yours, right?

The estimation of time to complete the workunit is usually awefully off if this is the first workunit to be processed on this host. It's more reliable to wait a few hours and then extrapolate from the time spent so far and the percentage of completion.

For a PIII 866 MHz running 24/7, the longest time I've witnessed is about 3-4 days (for one of the biggest WU that are available). This should give you an idea what to expect for your P III in the worst case.
