You may or may not get credit for late results.

Each project has its own guidlines for the deadlines. In S@H the deadline is 14 days after the start(?) finish(?) of the download for the WU. Predictor has variable deadlines - sometimes as short as 1 day after download.

If a result is returned before the WU has been deleted from the database, it will participate in the credit. The WU will not be deleted until it is verified, and all outstanding results have either been returned or timed out.

From you've got assigned a "result", if you takes 1 second or 1 day to download the wu isn't important.
