I'm running both Seti@home and Einstein@home. Presently, when one Seti@home work unit is running, one Einstein work unit is pre-empted, waiting to run. Also listed under them are one of each,ready to run when those are finished. How can I increase the units from each that are ready to run to 10(five of each). So that if either of the programs go down for a time, I have sufficient work for my machine until the programs are back up and running?

You could try increasing your 'Connect to network about every' variable in your 'General preferences', when you click on 'Your account'.

You don't need to increase your cache to make sure to have enough work. Your computer will automatically continue to crunch the second project if the first is down (and vice versa). Only if both projects are down at the same time, you will run dry.

Just go to Your Account. Then go to View General Preferences. Then Edit General Preferences. Change Connect to Server every 0.1 Days which is the Default to 1.0 Days. Then it will give You a Whole Days worth of Work to Crunch. If You want 2 Days work just change it to 2.0 Days and so on. Next time Your Computer connects with the Server your New Preferences will be added and it will give You more Work. The Maximum amount of time You can set it for is 10 Days. Thats Bad for Einstein however cause work units alwasy run long there. Better stay with 3 days and see how that works for You.

Please be very careful, I went for weeks with Einstein and Seti with a problem... Jord pointed to Resoucre Shares and the bottom line is that if you run Einstein and Seti on the same machine then you are "liable" to have problems. When set General Preferences to more than 2.5 days for "both" projects... Please look at the Forum thread 4.45 over commits
It also has the link to Jord's comments about resource share and how to calculate it..
