Folding Forum

If you are using Windows, before you reboot windows, make sure you pause all your folding on that PC. Then restart the PC. Linux has no issue there. Don't worry about that stuck WU anymore. It is what it is Im on windows, I dont restart often but some programs will force it with updates so that is ...

If the WU expires, then there's no point in continuing to fold it. An identical WU will have been sent out to someone else because the server can't tell the difference between you abandoning the WU and you just not completing it in time.

Hi all, I am getting used the folding client but I'm just looking for clarification if a WU is incomplete and expires? I have one that's stuck at 70% saying "paused" (Unpausing just starts new WUs) but it has also expired, will I ever be able to complete it? Should it be avoided outright l...
