I sometimes look at the other computers that have tried to do one of the work units assigned to me. Here is an example. My RHEL8 machine almost always completes them successfully. Here is an example of one of them. I have not finished this one yet, but I expect I will. I am so sorry so many earlier attempts failed.

Andy is looking at writing a script to automate blocking computers that don't have the 32bit libraries from getting more tasks. That would have stopped two of the failures on the one in the last chance saloon. But getting one user where it timed out and another who aborted it is bad luck I agree. I recently completed one from #842, the batch before that one. I know that writing the script has to sit below other higher priority work but I can't help hoping it happens soon.
