SETI@home was part way through processing a work unit, but then progress reset to zero and it started again from the beginning. What happened?
There are several possibilities. If you have SETI@home set to connect automatically to the Internet, it may have returned the result and gotten a new work unit. (If a work unit has too much radio interference or RFI, then SETI@home may request a new work unit much sooner than usual.) If SETI@home’s processing was interrupted abnormally by a system error or power interruption, its output files may have been corrupted. In this case, SETI@home will restart the work unit from zero automatically.
