Too short deadlines is an old problem with BURP. I'm still standing at 98,xxx% (yes the classical BURP 98%....) with a couple of units for the second day while the computation deadline was... Yesterday! After all those years, once might have thought there was a substantial capacity of learning by doing, but... No. It' seems impossible to get even as little as one week longer deadline. Is it this that makes the Rendering Project, Ugly??? |

Some sessions just take longer than others. BURP doesn't abort the WUs like other projects so you're not going to lose any credit. The short deadlines are a necessity to make sure the renders get done and back to the artists in as short a period as possible, the only thing that happens after the deadline is that another replication is issued.
