I'm running BOINC Manager, version 4.45 with Seti@home and Einstein@home as my projects. I've not been able to get a handle on interpreting the data under the "Statistics" tab and was wondering if someone could explain that to me, or tell me where I could find the info that does explain it.
Also an observation: In previous versions of the BOINC Manager, under the "Disk" tab, besides giving the percentages of the disk space used by each project, there was a graphic (pie chart) that visually showed the % that each project used and some more info. Why was that discarded in BOINC Manager's new version (4.45)? I thought the chart was quite useful.

I'm not sure if that's covered in the Wiki or not... http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/

"User" is all of the computers on your account combined. "Host" is the one computer you are currently connected to. "Total" is your total credits. "Average" is your RAC (that is definitely in the Wiki, and way too complicated to explain here...)

The graphs cover the last "n" days where "n" as far as I can tell is either totally random or back to when you joined the project - regardless, the axis text is illegible, at least on mine (4.43 or 4.72 Mac...) and range up to the number of credits you have, or your highest RAC.

Hope that answered that question. No clue on the pie chart.

BOINCView still uses a pie chart in the disk section and has the added advantage of allowing me to monitor all the computers on my network at the same time. Nice program. It does not have a statistics tab though. But then my sig tells me all I need to know and if I want to know more the BOINC Synergy (shameless team plug) site has plenty of stats.
