After 24 hours running program, work unit for climate prediction is not downloaded. I have cable to connect to internet, high speed. I think proces of download work units and upload results are currently scheduled in the resource share time. This will reduce eficience of boinc in general. I think this proces should be executed independly, as I open internet explorer and click for download any file. ID: 21976 ·

It might be the case that youdo not have sufficient free disk space allocated to BOINC to run CPDN as CPDN requires at least 600Mb free. The recommended minimum CPU speed is 800MHz, running with anything slower is an exercise in frustration. If you are not getting messages about not enough space from CPDN, try resetting CPDN to see if that helps. ID: 21990 ·

Boinc Dics tab shows Free space 160.68 Mb BOINC software 5.12 Mb Used space: no-BOINC 3.08 Gb BOINC free space 718.33 Mb Used space: BOINC 63.28 Mb SETI@home 6.01 Mb ID: 22302 ·

Had the same problem trying to run BOINC on a 256 MB ram disk. No go. greetz, Uli ID: 22964 ·
