I need some advice about increasing the amount of WUs that are downloaded. I have a P4 machine with an AMD card that I try to keep "stocked" with Astropulse WUs. I have my preferences set to only accept APs and my work buffer set at 10 days but it will only download 1 or 2 WUs at time (when APs are available). Any thoughts on increasing the number it will download? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks |

Any thoughts on increasing the number it will download? Am I missing something obvious? Reduce the size of the buffer- if you try to download more than you system may be able to process, it will actually reduce the amount you can download. Try setting Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least (max 10 days). to 4, and ... and up to an additional to something like .05 If that works out OK over a few days, then try increasing to 6. If it's still OK then 8 etc up to the maximum of 10. Grant Darwin NT |
