Hi, I am using a 1Ghz iMac G4 with 10.4 Tiger. BOINC client 5.4.9
The WU gets to about 1.04% rather quickly, but then it starts to go very slowly.. probably about 10 minutes to got to 1.041% and so on. Around that percentage of completion, it says it in the Full Atom Relax stage. Each work unit only takes about 2 hours to complete.. but I never see the % go to 1.05%. The time to completion says 21:xx:xx and goes up at the same rate as the CPU time.

What's happening??

Is there a problem with the client not updating me correctly because i've only gotten 1 result that said it was a client error.

That's exactly how Rosetta works (that's a different than most other BOINC projects, where the progress indicator increments smoothly).

Often it might stay at low % for a long time and then jump to 100% and complete.

You can tell progress by watching the "Step" counter (bottom-right). If it's incrementing, it's OK.

PS: Have you tweaked WU runtime to reduce it to 1hr? Unless you're troubleshooting your computer, it should preferrably be higher, either the default (currently 4hr) or better 8hrs/WU.
