I just want to let my PC crunch more efficiently. Even if one device was paused due to the probelm of agent server, the ohter devices can use the PC's resource.
 Who would please to teach me whether I can do it?  Thank you in advance...  |

Hi dtype what you are looking for can be found in this thread
----------------------------------------http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=970 It's called UDMonitor and it will allow you to download more than one work unit so you can have them queued up ready to crunch if the WCG servers were out of action for whatever reason. Just a point to note. Don't download too many WU's as they expire if the results don't get back to the WCG within 3 weeks. Take care Dave  |

Hi, David
Thank you for your answer. Don't worry about my CRUNCHER! It uploads results everyday. WU would never expire~~~  |

If your PC is powerful enough and it doesn't have overheating problems, you can safely raise the number of WUs to 5 at least. My P4 2.6 GHz notebook works at half speed ~half of the time, and I never went into trouble with 6 WUs (though I got a number of 100-hour WUs, fortunately at most one at a time in the WU set).

I have downloaded the software and managed to run it on my PC. However, I cannot find where I can set the number of WUs. Would any gentleman please to tell me?

You need to add new slots in the "Cache" tab, and then use Send/Receive (F12 key). If this tab is not visible by default, make it by checking/unchecking several boxes in the settings.
