Message 45123 - Posted: 10 Nov 2004, 10:35:20 UTC

Recently I have installed Boinc for Seti on one server. I am experiencing one or two difficulties and need to re-install Boinc.

When I do this I would prefer it if i didnt lose the pending Work Units waiting to be calculated so, would it be possible to improve the current "Disable Boinc Network Access" so that Boinc will calculate all the remaining work units and send the results, but not download new results.

I know users will have to wait 2 weeks before the replacement work unit will be sent out, but I personally find it annoying when work is sent but not completed.

Thank you in anticipation.

Set your "Connect to network about every (whatever) days" preference to zero, the client will not download anymore workunits.

The client will get more work under these settings but only when it is completely out. To return all work without getting more try setting the disk space restrictions to low to allow more work.
