I set my machine/account up to cache WU's for 7 days. This allows plenty of time for the servers to be down/hard to connect to (as they seem to be currently.)

However my cache of downloaded WU's is only enough for 3 days or so.

This is not too much of a problem, as i have 30 (another 5 days) WU's in Seti-Driver waiting to be processed, so can turn boinc off when it's empty sometime Tomorrow, and fire up Seti-Classic. But once classic is turned off, how do I persuade Boinc to cache the correct number of WU's?

Boinc is on it's own Partition of 13.8Gb. There is 13.5Gb free. Set as:
Use no more than 100 GB disk space
Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free
Use no more than 50% of total disk space

What's going on?

Foamy is "Lord and Master".
(Oh, + some Classic WUs too.)

Each BOINC project has a maximum daily download that it will give out. If you crunch less than this per day, you will eventually get your cache up to where you want it. Another way of riding out server downtime is to join several BOINC projects and work for each.
