When i come home i find that Boinc has defferred communication for as much as 7 hours. Sence i dont want to stay up until one in the morning again to download work units. How do i get Seti to download while i have the internet connection on. Eve of the Foster Clan |

It is quite simple: - go the the tab "Projects" - right click on "Seti@Home" - click on "update" The first thing that will happen is reporting the results (normally uploading the results should have been done already). After that, if your settings in your general preferences are allowing downloading WU's, you should get WU's. In this "General Preferences", set your "Connect to network about every xx days" to a number 2 or 3 and have a look to see how many WU's are downloading. Once you have changed your settings on the server, in the GUI click once again on "Update" to update the changes to your PC. Knowing the time to process one WU, you can then increase are decrease this number as you want. Keep in mind the necessary space required on your hard disk for getting the necessary WU's. Keep an eye also in the tab "Messages" to see if any error message appears or not. Read the News at the homepage Have a look at the Technical News Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki Best greetings, Thierry |

Since you are apparently on dialup, you may also wish to consider selecting File/Disable Network Access when not connected, and undo the check mark when connected. BOINC WIKI |
