Is there anybodyyyyy... Out there? <cue acoustic guitar>

I've recently returned to crunching a few units again after an hiatus as I 
have use of a wattage meter and discovered that running SETI/BOINC on a 30% 
duty cycle only consumes an extra 10W on my C2D @ 3.3GHz.

The question: I'm running Seti@home Enhanced client 5.27 which is a beta 
client. When I check the "Your Results" link I see around ~100 tasks that 
say "In Progress" when I only have <10 queued up in the client. Can anyone 
tell me what's going on? TIA.

Also, I see that the client has just now downloaded the Astropulse .exe and 
a 10MB Astropulse WU that is estimated just a bit under 24 hours to 
completion. I've never done an Astropulse WU before. Being ~24 hours to 
completion and running a 30% duty cycle it'll take over three days to 
calculate. I'm pleased the reporting date is a month away. I only hope that 
I get credit for it, that it isn't done and dusted by the time I report it.
