Hi there.
----------------------------------------I recently had a system crash and have had to reinstall windows from scratch. Most of my documents etc were backed up, but the WCG data in BOINC was not :( (I have now installed so user data goes into my Documents folder so it will be in future!) What will happen to all the work that had downloaded but will not finish. Is there any way I can re-download the items to my new computer, or will the jobs eventually time out and be sent to someone else ?   |

Don't worry. Once the deadline passes, those work units will be sent to someone else!

Thanks for prompty reply. I assume I won't be "blacklisted" or anything for "dumping" loads of jobs ?

No, don't worry.
----------------------------------------Once you attach your computer to WCG again, it will likely be treated as a new host. Good luck! AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |
