I am running CP.net and the model is just 5% completed, but it uses about 106 MB. Will it continue to use more and more space in my hard drive?

thanks

It will use more. From my experience using BOINC CPDN, by the end of each phase you'll have about 600 MB worth of CPDN related files. (I'm about one third of the way through Phase 2 and BOINC reports 356.48 MB of climateprediction.net files.) It resets at the beginning of each phase. If I remember correctly, once the run is completed successfully, the final upload is about 5 MB.

Hope this helps.

I'm still on my first CPDN WU and it will finish soon. I'm on timestep # 195601 and CPDN takes up 627.42 MB according to the Disk Tab. It really doesn't take up much more than that for each phase anyway. Besides, with hard drive capacities today 600 MB and change is just a drop in the bucket. ;-) I'm sure we all have movie files that large if not larger. :-)
