I've got a few completed Astropulse WUs now (and another queued) but
still none that have been confirmed, all still pending. I see that
they only send out two copies of each (last I remember it was three
of each for vanilla SETI WUs?) with one of the WUs I'm waiting on
having been sent to a Pentium III 1133MHz machine that does 1068 /
1763 MIPs respectively. I could be waiting an age for that one to be
verified.
I've been checking the results of my Astropulse WUs (just reported another
one) and this guy let it run for quite a while before aborting it:

Luckilly it was given to another machine (Athlon 64 3000+) that was running
24/7 and it's now been completed by two machines so I've been credited for
it.
After clearing the cache of regular WUs, my P3-700 Linux machine is
finally crunching the lone Astropulse WU it got. It has currently spent
about 71 hours on it, and BOINC estimates it will take another 227 hours
to finish it. It's also currently the only work on this machine, I suppose
it'll start requesting more once the AP unit is close to finishing...
I do hope they don't send an Astropulse unit by accident to the
P1-133MHz/64MB machine I also still have crunching (well, nibbling would
be a more appropriate term perhaps ;) away. It takes about 225 hours just
to cruch a regular WU. ;)
