I have set different values for the number of WU's Boinc should download per type (home/work/school).
Also, I set my computers to use one of these types, since they don't all need the same number of WU's in the queue.

E.g. my server should have quite a lot in the queue, since it is always on, while my desktop computer (which is used only for several hours a day) should only keep a few in the queue.

The problem is that the settings for work/home/school aren't used by Boinc. They all use the General preferences instead of the specific values I set.

What am I doing wrong?
or
Is Boinc using the wrong preferences?
or
Is Seti not giving the correct preferences to Boinc?

well, i'm about to stress out the home/work/school option later today or this week, 'cause i'm gonna install BOINC on a few computers at school (WITHOUT getting in trouble)

I'll tell you how it goes
