hi there,

I'm not always online, but my computer is on all the time. I also don't want that my computer goes online automaticly.

so it would be a nice idea if my computer could buffer some more workunits then just one for the actual work and sometimes a second one as a buffer.

the deadlines are a month so it shouldn't be a problem to buffer 4 workunits. even if it takes a little bit more time than the usual few hours per unit.

This web site -> your account -> general settings -> connect every X days. Set this value a bit higher than your actual time between connections. However, if it is too high, BOINC will stop getting work because it cannot be completed and returned on time.
