Hello All, I have two PC's working on the CPDN units and ev'rything works fine but the second PC is going to be sold so what I want is finishing the current unit and not downloading a new one, so what can I do to prevent that because before the running one is over there is already a new one to be started, I hope to hear some suggestions. |

I tried setting disk space to 200M, as a experiment once, but this didn't work. The reason was obvious when I looked at the size of the new wu: 12k (I think). So I think you may need to set 'use no more than' to zero. It may also help to set 'leave at least' to a number much larger than your current free space. But I haven't tried this pair of ideas yet. And keep in mind that free space will about double, when the wu is finished and BOINC zips all the files. Also you may well get a new wu one or more 'trickle times' before the current wu is finished, (depends on 'keep enough work for'), so don't leave it too late to set new prefs. Speaking of which, this option seems to be missing from prefs. now! I was using the default of .1 Les |
