Hi,
I would like to uploads several pieces of works (twenty or thirty) to work on while on internet-less trips which are sometimes couple of weeks long. How do I do it (Windows XP with BOINC 5.8.15)? Thanks. |

It's sort of a problem Tom WCG. Present BOINC version in the 5.8 series have introduced a scheduling program which makes it hard to Download work volume above 3 days or so. Also, the due date is 9 days (9x24 hours). Any longer and the work would be considered 'No Reply' and an extra copy would be send to someone else.
----------------------------------------If you downgrade to 5.4.11, that version still allows for larger buffering by setting the 'Connect To' option in the device profile. You still face the 9 day deadline though. An upcoming version will have a extra option to actually say a thing like "give me 8 days work", but when i dont know. Keep in mind that best u select Fighting AIDS. Those jobs are by far the longest in run time. With a maximum download of 10 jobs per 10 minutes, that would allow quick refill. cheers
