Historically, the completion time for Base, Short and Average tasks was typically about 2 hours. The Task Progress increased at a consistent rate from 0% to 100%.
Now, the Task Progress is progressing from 0% to 90% in about 2 hours, then it is taking an additional 6 - 8 hours to progress from 90% to 100%. This is occurring on my multiple computers.
Also, one of my computers is 32-bit. I was receiving tasks on my 32-bit computer, but for some reason this computer is no longer receiving tasks from SRBase.

I cant see the 32bit host, what error did you get? I think it has something to do with the cert file.

EVERY time I try to get tasks, I get the same messages in the Event Log:
Update Request by User

Try to replace the cert file, see FAQ.

I've had exactly the same issue on a number of "Riesel Base - short v0.22" CPU tasks, which I received during the recent Formula BOINC Sprint.
Many of these tasks did complete, but I had a number that got stuck at 100% after 8 hours...and this was on a 4-core Windows x64 PC.
And such was the lack of progress, I've had to abort many tasks (before the deadline), as I just knew the PCs would not process these other tasks before their deadline....even though my "cache" using BOINC Manager was set to 0.5+0.5 days...
Somehow SRBase is allowing more tasks to download, as it is using an inaccurate "Time to completion" for each task - estimates were around 24 minutes, but actual time is between 9,000 and 14,000 seconds (2.5 to 3.9 HOURS).
error msgs for 3 of these tasks:
