Thanks. 840 is a lot!

P.S. That old green skeeter from DDDT1 is really sticking out like a sore thumb. I suppose there's still a glimmer of hope to upgrade as long as DDDT1 is listed as an intermittent project.

Well Anhhai.. i think your problem is that everyone else also grabed many days the same time you got that 1.5 days worth of work for yourself.

if i am your wingman for any of these it will probably be 3-7 days before my results get all returned from my grabs... i shot for about 5 days of cache per computer to get my silver

I asume this is the major wingman problem we have when rain is sporadic like this or near the end of a project.

realize that there are tons of people out there who "filled there DDDT-2 buckets" when the rain started and still have 5+ days of WU's to go through.

I have also noticed that Boinc normally doesn't try to communicate unless its looking for work. So for people like me who bumped to a 5 day cach then back down to there 0.5 day we have to manualy upload work units when we remember to check (found 15+ hours of completed results on each of my computers).

assuming my situation is not unique expect there to be lots of pending validation while we sort through the WU's. Not to mention the ones that on other peoples computers will time out cause they grabbed too many.

good luck and i hope the rain continues

You have to do nothing of the sorts, manually uploading, nasher. One of the client rules is that RtR's are cleared no later than 24 hours after the result files have transferred. At that point all RtR's go along, when 23 hours old or 5 minutes old. Why is that: The client tries to optimize and minimize scheduler contacts, the most taxing part of the BOINC system. One of the developers once computed that the cost of a manual connect is USD 10.--, for the direct and indirect. Adds up. 10 days deadlines is for a reason, factored into the process. You PV will clear... they all do statistically for > 90% within 4 days.

ok curious how can hitting manual update cost 10$? how much dose an automatic update cost???

the internet connection line shouldnt cost extra
i doubt if its a stress on the bandwith on eithor side
i can see it being some CPU cycles

normaly i run with a .5 or less cache of work units so as soon as they are complete they auto upload cause it wants more work... are you saying that we should all have over 1 day cache to minimize cost of the programs?
