He's still going. Currently has somehow claimed 3000 tasks to sit on. | |

More like a weird server. In the last FB my tasks kept pending for a real annoying long time. Really useful in a sprint challenge. Some are still pending now❗I never had that problem with Primegrid before.

I wonder if they doesn't realize it isn't returning any tasks? Or if they are just holding them and will do a several badge update at once thing. | |

Highly likely. He has one of my diffles. | |

There's over 2000 timed-out tasks and 0 valid tasks. Just clueless. | |

They are still going !
PrimeGrid doesn't have the ability to stop giving tasks to a host that never returns any results ? | |

In egregious cases, the server will temporarily stop sending tasks. The threshold is very high, however. Affected tasks will automatically get resent, and it’s not really a big problem, except, perhaps, to the person running that computer.
If, on the other hand, the server’s limits were more restrictive, while potentially “solving” a non-problem, it would create loads of real problems for other people whose computers managed to trigger the protections because they were testing something, or were running a video game, or there was a power spike, etc. Do not underestimate the awesome ability of a modern computer to mangle an astronomical number of tasks in a very short period of time!
The system works well the way it is. We do not want to replace a small problem with a much larger problem.

PrimeGrid has been here for quite a while. They are scientists and mathematicians doing work. There is no hurry for this work because it's not currently used for much else than to create proofs.
BOINC itself was designed for this type of issue and the project can adjust as they wish. The work gets done. Stopping them does nothing extra. The work needs to be reassigned anyway and since there is no hurry, it can be done when they expire.

The host is still going. 0 for 3234 atm with just as many in queue.
Went to look of one of my pendings and this host is the main task. | |
