While I have my settings at about 450 GB total for BONIC...I notice BONIC is using only 9.30 MB... What gives? |

That is all it needs. So should I lower those totals down on my computers? As in considerably....? Thank you for your reply. |

Drop down to 1Gb and you will have plenty, or maybe 2Gb if you want to be really safe! Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

That is all it needs. It is the limit that BOINC will use for any and all projects you run. For most of my systems I have no limit set "Use no more than --- GB " SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

That setting is mostly for folks with small disks. Using an old 40 gb disk in a dedicated machine for example. You might want to limit the total amount that BOINC uses for all it's projects, so some project doesn't suddenly download a couple of GB and crash your system. If you run multiple projects it's possible to get up over a GB or 2 used as some other projects have larger data files to store. In your situation, you can just leave it alone. If you are only using ~10mb, then the high limit has no effect at all. |
