I have a computer that only connects to the Internet every few days. How can I download multiple work units, process them and then upload them all at once?

Thanks in advance.

Log into your account, and go to General Preferences page. There is a preference that should say something like: Connect to network about every __ days. Increase this number and your computer will download the appropriate amount of work for that many days.

You have to be careful though, because what ever you set your Preferences to it will actually give you Twice as many days of work. In other words if you set your Preferences to 4 days the server will give you 8 days work or the 50 per day limit.

So you have to determine how many WU's per day each computer can do & then set your Preferences accordingly...
