Message 916492 - Posted: 10 Jul 2009, 11:25:18 UTC

I was a regular participant of Seti@home before. But now, my internet connection was cut out. Still, I am interested in doing this...

So, is it possible for me to download the WU from some other computers(like internet center), copy it to my system, after the process gets finished, copy the result and upload to the server from some other computer...

If you can run BOINC on the public computer (eventually using a flash drive), then yes; otherwise no. See also this thread.

I got this info on the flash drive:

That is mostly for diskless computers tho, so might not be what you are looking for at all.

As for running the BOIC itself on flash in an windows environment I am not sure about, maby :)

I see. If manually moving a WU to a computer is possilbe, I am not sure actually, as the WUs afaik is closly related to the BOINC manager. Maby a flash drive that runs BOINC on it asn is sufficiently large can do it.

But some fo teh experts in these forums would need to tell you how ^^.
