Using BOINC 4.05, XP PRO SP2 with \"Leave applications in memory while preempted?\" set to \"No\".
Perhaps \"Timestep\" should increase in my \"Latest Trickles\"? No?

that can happen because the checkpoint interval isn't an even division of the trickle, i.e. there are 24 trickles per phase, or every 10802 timesteps. You presumably are "preempted" or "quit" at "checkpoint 675" (timestep 97200) so when it starts up it will hit the trickle point at 97218 (10802 * 9) and you may quit or preempt before hitting "checkpoint 676". It's just a minor thing since a trickle is only a few hundred bytes if that, and even on a slow modem you wouldn't really notice it.

Not necessarily, 'bosh. That trickle was just 18 timesteps after a checkpoint, and the next one isn't until timestep 97344. The only way to prevent the rewind is by changing "Leave ..." to "yes".
