Just started folding for the [H]orde!...quick question

[Dr3wStx]

I'll be folding on my other processor untill I score some good deals. Gotta put this T-bird 2400+ processor to work, it's not getting much work done sittin on my shelf.
I'm looking at this thing, and It says my next frame will be done in 14 mins....but my WU wont be done for 52 days?...That seems like a long time. Does it take a few frames before I get an accuate reading?

Anway go team 33!!

It's better to log at the log and see the amount of time each frame is taking. Multiply this by the number of frame left and you should have a better idea of the time left.

Edit: Welcome to the team!

First, welcome to the team, enjoy your stay.

52 days may be when it's due, not when it's expected to finish. is this info from unitinfo.txt?

that's what mine looks like, but it's taking about 42 minutes/frame, and 45% done, so 38 hours from now I expect it'll finish, not 3 months.

It seems to have worked it self out, it now says 2 days for 2500 frames at about 1m:35s earch

yeah, the more frames it gets done the more accurate the reading is; btw, what prog are you using? i couldn't tell, but if you're not using EMIII you could give that a try it's in the FAQ
