Hi, I connect via dial-up once a day during the evening when the call price is low, upload my WCG info and download more work. The only problem (well it's not really that) is that my computer finishes the work in about 4 hrs (p4 3mhz 1gb ram), which again leaves the PC idle most of the day. Is there a way to incread my work load/download file size, so I can download a bigger chunk every day, rather than connecting more often?
Regards, Ross |

Since the processing requirements of an individual work unit are not predictable, this would not be possible. Please see the discussion of this in the Community Maintained FAQ's at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=928. Regards, |

Regards, Ross Do you have to call long distance--you should be able to get a local number--try a different isp  |
