Sorry but somewhat new to this thing. Anyway, I have this unit of work " is only 19 boinc points " but it has been sitting on the server to be validated way past the date due.

31 Dec 2004 13:46:20 UTC,   31 Dec 2004 15:53:55 UTC,   Over,   Success, Done,   5,070.23,  19.59,   pending.

What's up with that? Anyone know?

When you look at the unit, click on the work unit id from this page
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=416811&offset=220

That takes you here - http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=7101696
It appears to me that the unit has been sent out six times.  Once it was not returned, one result claimed about three times the credit of three other results and the sixth result has not yet been returned.

You can click on the host that is currently working on the unit and see its computer details.  The deadline is February 11th.  I would expect credit within a week IF this result matches the three closest results on hand.  If it doesn't, the unit will probably be sent out again.

Or not, I don't run the project  ;)
