In the Tasks tab in the BOINC Mgr, why does the "To Completion" counter count up and not down? Sometimes it looks as it will go down, but it still counts up. I'm presently using the BOINC Mgr Version 6.6.31 for Windows XP. I've noticed it many times, but never thought to ask why it happens. Why does it happen, and why doesn't the counter count down. It is labeled "To Completion". That means it should count down. YES/NO? It doesn't make sense at all. Thank You. P.S. Twas even in the older BOINC Mgr's.

You want to say that while a task runs from start to finish, the to-completion counter rises all the time? That would mean it shows double the first estimate in the end.
