Has anyone else noticed that their cache (or "amount of time between network connections") dropped back to 0.1 days from whatever you had set it to? I had mine set to 4.5 days, and just noticed the drop after Friday's Berkeley ups and downs... I may have had this for a day or so b4 that, (hard to tell with SETI goin' down so often...) so the change could have occured on Thursday.

Hello, from Albany, CA!...

I last changed mine on the 20th, and it has not been altered.

I changed mine a couple weeks ago and it remains the same...5 days for work and 10 days for home. Will reset all to 3 days when we go a week without problems.

And no good credit hound!

I noticed that when I first attached to Einstein a couple of months ago that my cache settings changed. Have you recently attached to another project?

Mine was ok but I did see a few days back that the project share reset for all projects I have.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

SETI@home classic workunits: 5,000
SETI@home classic CPU time: 15,019 hours

I don't change my settings since April and they remain the same since then. If you're concerned about this sudden change, change your passwd and make sure that no account manager site is messing around with your preferences.

Regards,
Wander

Did you notice that the general preferences has changed?
There's now two settings:

Computer is connected to the Internet about every
(Leave blank or 0 if always connected.
BOINC will try to maintain at least this much work.)

And:

Maintain enough work for an additional
(Requires 5.10+ client.)

My cache setting (i think) was on the second one, & i wasn't
getting a lot of work, (i think i still had Astropulse stuff to report on Beta)
i've moved it to the first one & i think it's a bit better now, try it,
It might be better.

Claggy.

Unless I have been misinformed, the 'additional' setting is not in use yet, except perhaps in the 5.9.12 beta version Boinc client.

Yep, true, did you check you cache settings?, on mine, the primary and the
work preferences are in the additional (which I'd swear i haven't touched
since they changed the network usage area)(and i'm not using at the moment),
and the home preferences which I've moved to the first Box last week.
(Both my present computers being set at 'home')

Here are the screens for these settings in BOINC 5.9.12:

Those are the default local settings in Boinc Manager (5.9.x) for individual computers, i've just checked my one computer running 5.9.12, i don't use them,
i'm just using the General Preferences for home from the Seti Website,
which also have the two settings for work buffer size.

B4 I was running to work units at a time. For some reason it has only been letting me do one at a time. I s there anything I can do to change this?
Been trying to find out and no one seems to be ablt to answer.

Go to YOUR general preferences then change the setting called "Computer is connected to the Internet about every " to a higher number like 3 days for example. Then go to the "projects" tab, click on Setiathome XXXX in the right hand box, then click the "update" button

I think he's asking about multi-processor usage. Go to you General Preferences and chack the "On multiprocessors, use at most" setting. It should be at least 2 if you have a dual core or Hyperthreading processor.

I just noticed that I was out of cache... * *

You can also edit your preferences on your account page on the SETI web pages,
and there is this new function.
--------------
"Maintain enough work for an additional: X Days"
(Requires 5.10+ client.)
------------

where you can put a number, the "connect to network every X days"
is gone, it looks like this now..

Computer is connected to the Internet about every: 7 days
(Leave blank or 0 if always connected.
BOINC will try to maintain at least this much work.)

Maintain enough work for an additional: 7 days
(Requires 5.10+ client.)

How ever, just as it says it requires at latest BOINC 5.10
and I don't want that one, I want to keep my old one,
because, well lets just say, many reasons ...

but I'm not getting any work

The 'additional' setting is inactive unless you are running the 5.9.12 beta Boinc client, which is the beta version of 5.10. So if you are not running 5.9.12, only the internet connection setting helps to determine your cache, just like it always did.
Are you totally out of work? Or just not building a cache? What are you seeing in the messages tab...is Boinc reporting work and not asking for any more, or are you seeing 'no work from server' or other errors?
There is plenty of work on the server, and the Cricket graph seems very stable right now. I have had no problems lately reporting work or getting new work when Boinc requests it.
