At this time, have my computer automatically connect to the Seti server when required (no dialup) and I normally have two WU's running and two waiting to run. I'd like to have more waiting to run in case of internet or Seti/Boinc problems. Any ideas? ID: 92034 ·

Go to "Your Account", "Preferences", "General" "View or edit general preferences", which brings you here. In the setting "Connect to network about every xx days" you can change the value to some 1 or 1.5 days and after this in Boinc you will need to choose "Update project" in order to bring this value on your PC. Once you have downloaded a cache of WU's, you can still adapt once again this value in function of what you wish. ID: 92036 ·

The only thing I can't find is "Update Project" in Boinc. I must be looking in the wrong location. Help? ID: 95389 ·

I think it's worth mentioning it: "Update project" will only show in the left panel if, on the right panel, a line containing a project is selected. Regards ID: 95408 ·
