What progress bar? Please give us some more details or we won't be able to help you. Also, please don't post your question in unrelated topics, just open a new one (that's why I now moved your post to its own thread).
The progress bar never ends, it stops and start again since (around) sixty percent. Is this okay?
Hi Myriam,
Welcome to the Einstein@Home project.
I navigated to your account page and clicked the 'show computers' link there and then clicked on the 'tasks' link for your computer. You already have lots of completed tasks and no errors or invalid results. There are tasks for the gamma ray binary pulsar pulsar search only.
With that particular search, the percentage completed number that shows in BOINC Manager does seem to rise steadily to somewhere around 40-60% and then suddenly the task is completed, uploaded, reported to the server and a new task is started in its place. If you are only looking occasionally, it may well appear that a task around 60% complete has suddenly reverted to the start. Is this a fair description of what you have seen? If so, then everything would seem to be progressing normally. If not, then you need to give more information.
You could prove this to yourself by using the 'advanced view' feature of BOINC Manager and watching the tasks tab when a task is about to finish. If you look on the website at your validated tasks list, you will see roughly how long these tasks are taking (22k-25k seconds) so you will know in advance when a task is likely to finish shortly. There is always a bit of time (up to an hour usually) after a task finishes until it gets removed from the local list of tasks that you can see in BOINC Manager.
The above possible explanation is just a guess about your 'problem'. It's really, really hard to 'see' what you see when you don't paint a full picture. If you are completely new to BOINC, don't be afraid to put the manager into advanced view and have a really good look at all the various pages. There's lots of help available in the BOINC user manual.
What progress bar? Please
