Hi!
Every time I start my computer this stupid note appears and my computer wants to connect with the Internet. If I check my results and the trickles I see that none should have been sent. If I disconnect after about 15 min. from the Net, BOINC complains that it wants to be connected with the Net to send the trickle-up message. What can I do?
Thanks,
a frustrated warp2future

Boinc sends a trickle message each time it starts, to tell the server it\'s running again. It is a different type to the normal \'I am up to this TS point\' trickle.

Click \'Network activity suspended\' in the menu to stop it until the next time you connect.

The trickle up generated at startup isn\'t the normal one sent every 10802 timesteps. This one indicates to the server that your model has reverted to the checkpoint information saved in the restart.day file. It\'s perfectly normal behaviour.

This type of trickle is primarily used to allow the server to keep track of how often a model restarts during normal running. If it\'s often reverting to restart.month and restart.year it could indicate a model stability problem.
