OK, installed 4.72 CC and I like the improvement. I know it's still beta, but:

1. When it connects, it's a very noticeable event for dialup users due to the modem speaker, so this is what I propose - you could implement it like this:
-when it connects, does what it has to do, and then it shows up disconnect timer which can be set to e.g. 1 min. So if I want to stay surfing i just cancel the timer and continue to surf.

2. I noticed that in this version it doesn't selfupdate after the upload of output files.

3. In screensaver it doesn't connect to the net at all, just puts a lot of error messages in the message tab:

it's just a part.


Happy crunching/developing

The new version of the CC that is currently undergoing alpha testing only auto disconnects if BOINC opened the dial up connection.


Which version is it?

An idea for the developers might be a bit of code something along the lines of...

create a new setting so that users can be asked if they want to disconnect if the computer is in use, if it's not in use then just follow the normal option (disconnect or not)

so that when the computer is being used (during the day) it asks the user (if the option is set) but if it's not (at night) then it just disconnects (if that's the option that's been set)

Generally this should do the trick.

VB,

A very good suggestion for BOINC. Hopefully they can work something like that into the communications of boinc soon.

I don't know if you have seen it or not, but under the Questions and Answers there is a forum for Wish List. Your suggestion might get noticed quicker there than here.

Otherwise, keep up the positive feed back, constructive criticisms and the suggestions for further enhancements of BOINC.

Jim



Thank you for yor responce, just posted it there.

Since there are still lot of us using the plain old Dialup system it would be a nice thing to put this in core client's options.

I've set the options to automatically dial when client needs internet connection. Because it often completes a workunit in the midle of the night, I selected that it automatically disconnects from the internet.

It's OK until it finishes a workunit during the day and I decide to surf a bit when the client connects.
So it gets really frustrating when it disconnects in the middle of surfing, and it's not practical to change online prefs every time.

Hmmmmmm i think not....as it is downloading but not uploading.....lol


Here is the answer I got on similar question:

The communications problems are caused by the backup after the outage a couple of days ago. Uploads always seem to fare worse than downloads.

OK, finally uploaded the result. I just left it to count down the time it automatically predicted and made sure that I'm connected at exactley that time. I think the server schedules automaticaly when it will have time to accept a new result.

I downloaded a few workunits before outage and one of them has completed during the outage so I disabled network access to BOINC until the outage is over, but now it fails to upload a result.

I thought "OK it has a lot of results in upload queue", and I went to the server status page and saw that only one result was vaiting for validation. I think others have the same problem.
