Im running the climate prediction program and have managed to download more than one work unit.
Whenever i try to suspend the work of the unit i do not want or try to abort it the program just goes back online an starts it again.
Is there a way to delete the unwanted work unit?

You have a hyperthreaded CPU and BOINC sees this as two CPUs. If you go to the \"Your account\" link on the left and edit your \"General Preferences\", you can set \"On multiprocessors, use at most\" 2 processors to 1 processor. Then update your climateprediction.net project in the projects tab of the boinc gui.

According to the error messages, you have manually aborted all 5 of the models you started.
Next time, go to the Project tab, click on the project name, and then on the button No new work.

I am pretty sure that Boinc will try to keep both CPUs busy and will download a new WU after you abort. You might go to your preferences and change the amount of CPUs to one....
