If you restart BOINC it is starting from 0 but has checkpoints in the background because the runtime is not saved.

	For all my other projects. The progress will be saved and the processing just continues. SRbase will lost my previous progress and need to start from 0.0%

SRbase will lost my previous progress and need to start from 0.0% The runtime is not saved in the wrapper file. If you have a windows OS, check the stderr.txt in the slot folder. You will find a "resuming from bit xyz", this means its restarting from the last savepoint.

	Before restart: https://photos.app.goo.gl/2C36kb7Gas4a5VC2A After restart: https://photos.app.goo.gl/EEZLZfSBq7qn18a97 You will see that on Windows 10, the SRBase will lost all the result after restart. The other project (collatz only lost 0.01% of result.)

	I agree, since I've had the same questions before. SRBase doesn't have a wrapper that times tasks well, so don't worry. I think the same mechanism is on Mac, but I'm not sure.
