I have a lot of tasks that have been cancelled by the server.
Usually when this happens they are tasks that were sent out because some other task was returned too late, but not in this case:

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.

Thank you for the info. Looks like new tasks are available as my systems received new work.

Cancelling tasks makes your project unreliable in my eyes. 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.

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...

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?

Thanks for cancelling them. A lot of times, projects will continue to send out bad work units, wasting the cruncher's time.
