Usually when this happens they are tasks that were sent out because some other task was returned too late, but not in this case: https://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=17631877 What is going on ?

I found a bad batch of tasks generated yesterday and I had to cancel them. Today will come next, fixed batch.

Completing your tasks requires a lot of resources that I don't like being wasted, I won't try running any of your tasks again until 2019. ID: 2997 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm sorry to hear this as most of cancelled tasks wasn't sent to volunteers and cancelled tasks (with few exceptions) wasen't even starts...

Last modified: 7 Aug 2018, 16:03:11 UTC So far you've cancelled nine of my tasks, five of which were active, and at least two of which were almost complete. There are also a number of WUs where one of my hosts completed the task, but the wingman didn't before you cancelled the WU. What happens to those? Do they remain in some sort of limbo?
