Current Work Unit
-----------------
Name: Gromacs
Tag: P2677R9C16G33
Download time: August 7 17:15:54
Due time: August 10 17:15:54
Progress: 1717986%  [||||

THe progress bar goes on alot longer then that , i just cut it short.

Shall i just delete the work dir, and the queue.dat file that carry on folding?

Yes, that's a BAD unit and you can delete your queue and work dir to continue Folding. A Mod will mark this as bad in the WU database.

Thanks for reporting it.

edit: i just stoped folding remove the work and queue files , and it just downloaded the same broken wu again, how can i get a different 1?

If you do not have other clients running on the same machine, changing the Machine Id from 1 to 2 (via the configuration command) should give you a different WU. If you aren't comfortable with this idea, the only option is to repeat the deletion process and try again until the server decides to assign a different WU.

thanks , that sorted it all out

Last time I checked this was claimed to be a presentation bug and not necessarily an indication of bad work unit.

Excessive number of steps of particular generation on the other hand IS indication of a bad work unit (as shown here).

250k steps is a normal value for P2677 (as your log shows)

EDIT: whoops, I take it back -- did it actually jump from 1 to 95% in a matter of seconds?

Yep it jumped form 1 to 95% in no time atal, this machine is now folding happily, with a new WU
