Hello,
Using Einstein and Rosetta for example.

For some reason these projects on one machine are being downloaded that have et run times of several hundred hours. This doesn't happen on a different, equally powered machine.

Is there anyway to reset something some where so the machine will download project files that it can actually process in a usable time frame?

Do they have those runtimes or are they estimated? Those estimates can be way too big, depending on the Duration Correction Factor, which will be "corrected" over time.

I've aborted tasks that had ~520 hours run time

latest downloaded tasks have run times on the problem machine at 130 hours for rosetta.

run time on a "normal" machine is ~26 hrs.

Any ideas on how to get tasks that have a chance to complete before their expiration date?

currently running 6.4.4

Maybe I should uninstall/reinstall w/ newer version ?

I repeat: have you aborted the task after 520 hours or aborted you a task that had an estimated runtime of 520 hours?

latest downloaded tasks have run times on the problem machine at 130 hours for rosetta.

Did they run 130 hours to completion?

They were aborted after 80 hours run time.

The latest Einstein download has an est run time of 252 hours remaining with a total actual accumulated total of 60 hr.s

What is the "Task duration correction factor" for that machine at the different projects? You can find it on the Computer summary page of your online account.
