How do I set up Boinc to operate offline?

So I can connect to the internet occasionally, download as many work units as possible and then it will continue to run for as long as possible (a month or more would be good).

Thanks

Re: How do I set up Boinc to operate offline?

WCG work units have a much shorter deadline (I think like 10 days) so being offline for a month will not work. If you can manage to connect about 1 time per week you should be OK if you set the "Connect about every X days" and the "Additional work buffer X days" settings in your preferences to make X be the amount of time between your opportunities to connect to the internet. I would not suggest the 10 day max beause if anything goes wrong you may not return the results in time and then your crunching efforts would be lost.
