I have been having some trouble with my SMP hanging up on the completion of a work unit. The work around I found was to 'Ctrl-C' out of the window and open task manager and kill any A1 core processes. Then a restart of the client seems to kick things back into shape nicely. I'd like not to have to do that because I can loose some serious time if I don't remember to come check it. What might be causing this trouble?

A long pause at the end is quite normal on A1 and A2 units. When -bigadv first came out, it wasn't uncommon for a pause of upwards of 20 to 30 minutes when it finished. I bet if you let it sit, you'd find it'd continue on just fine. I recently had an A1 unit finish and it sat there for 8 minutes before continuing on.
 
Wow... this just answered my question that I was about to post. I thought something was wrong with my bigadv VM since it pauses for about 20min and then starts uploading.

Is there a workaround?
