This is from the Boinc web page:

July 13, 2004
Our database server hung and had to be forcibly terminated. It took
several hours to check all the tables and indices. Then we ran into
problems with our Network Attached Storage device, which we rebooted
for the first time in 18 months. Additional outages may occur
throughout the night and possibly tomorrow.

Which does NOT address the incredibly bad time estimates
that BOINC is giving on WUs, still.

My systems process units in less than 3 hours most of them time,
yet ALL the WUs for the past few days have estimated times of
19+ hours.  That COMPLETELY screws up my cache.

From The SAH BOINC fora:

The work estimates are being reverted back to their launch day estimates
today, we should start to see them show up in the workunit pool very soon.

One individual already claims to have gotten two 'corrected' WU's
interspersed w/a half dozen 'long' WU's.

As always, w/everything BOINC, to this point in time: Caveat Emptor.
