My last conversation with Eric indicated that he had to work out some things with the AP validation, being tested on Beta, and once that hurdle is cleared, they could start to ease the limits again.

Eithier bother DA or Eric to fix the server side Estimates for Anonymous Platform users that aren't using flops entries,

or put flops into your app_info (use the APR figure with e09 at the end), eg 17.686758629915e09 for CPU MB  app & 255.03870331506e09 for Nvidia GPU MB app,

or use Jason's 6.10.58 boinc.exe,

Cause I can't use Jason's build on this host for some unknown reason I modified app_info with flops you supplied:

6.10 tasks estimation time stll ~2h.
Should I change flops again or just wait when those GPU tasks will be processed and new ones downloaded?

EDIT: after one more restart and addition of AP to mix CUDA times near 1min that even lower than actual execution time.
Now just need good connection to servers to refill cache, thanks!

Try installing the CRT redistributables, links are in Jason's boinc build thread.

1. Eithier wait for new tasks, Or:

2.  (with an app_info with flops in it) Suspend Network Activity, Save all your Wu files, Reset the project, then Restore your Wu files, Unset Network Activity, then ask for work,
the Workunits will get resent but the downloads will get skipped because you already have then,
(Change the Use CPU and Use Nvidia GPU selections to send them to whatever device you want, beware of trying to send VLARs to Nvidia GPUs),
and the good thing is you don't have to wait 5 mins and 3 seconds between attempts, (as long as there are no backed off uploads or downloads)
