Here\'s a new one, or not, one of my computers has downloaded 4 sulphur run\'s and 4 standard models which are all ready to run..... to go along with the 2 sulphur\'s it\'s already working on.

It\'s an OK computer but this is asking a little much. I can go ahead and abort to give them to someone else but does anyone know why the sudden feast of work?

Very odd. What version of BOINC are you using? The latest is here.

You can certainly abort any that you will not be able to run in a reasonable time.

I checked this morning when I got to work and now I have 6 copies of each..... I\'m using 4.45. I aborted all but 1 extra set of sulphur\'s and I think I\'ll try upgrading again after thanksgiving.

Given the problems you are currently having, set \"No New work\" on the Projects tab of the BOINC GUI or every time you abort one, it will download another one.

4.45 has this odd propensity to get more CPDN work than it can process ... :(

If 5.x is not an option, you can try 4.72 ... and I usually set my computers to no new work after downloading a S-Cycle for this very reason.
