Boinc has a problem or 2. They set it high to keep those users that set the cache ridiculously high from downloading a bunch of WUWUs, thus slowing down the process..... Seti@Home, it is really about the science, isn’t it!! ID: 6207 ·

I have also read, but cannot verify, that the estimates are back to normal. ID: 6350 ·

I'll talk to the SAH dev's on Monday and find out if they plan on leaving things this way. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team, U.C. Berkeley ID: 6390 ·
