I did only now realise that

I did only now realise that my card is not supported because you demand a min workgroup size of 256.

I have 128. HD 5450.

Can you lower that? Otherwise I will stop crunching with my GPU here for now. Raistmer is waiting for more results over at SETI Beta.

We don't, we just set a preferred value. If your GPU doesn't support it, the value is dynamically adjusted accordingly.

Hi!

Each task that you download is actually a bundle of 8 independent sub-tasks. When one sub task is finished, processing of the next one begins, using its own checkpoints. So it is normal that there will be exactly 8 instances of the "starting from scratch" message in the logs per task.
