This have to change i think, or i have missed somethink... Greetings from Germany NRW Ulli ID: 151973 ·

Either one would help balance the work queue between fast & slow machines or ones that don't run Boinc 100% of the time. I'm dealing with the issue between my (somewhat) fast P4 and an Athlon 900 MHz. Currently, the Athlon has lots of work to crunch & the P4 ran out of SETI work because the server isn't giving any new work units. This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied dead. The choice is yours. ID: 151977 ·

Last modified: 17 Aug 2005, 2:24:16 UTC Mostly because this change would complicate matters for everyone. This means that to change teh connect every XX days for all projects (which is normal) the user would have to visit every project to do so. Connect every X days is intended mostly for modem users (or others that are mostly disconnected) as a way of indicating how often they connect their computers to the internet to send results and receive more work.
