Pappa-this question was raised before and I don't remember seeing an answer (my bad if I missed it)...think it's a good one. Fair call on that... |

Many thanks to all for the hard work of maintaining the SETI systems. Please advise on what the outage schedule will be in the near future. I run SETI exclusively 24/7 so if it's down I may as well shut down my computer. |

Many thanks to all for the hard work of maintaining the SETI systems. No need shutting your computer down, just have a task cache of 4 or so days, that way your PC still works while there's an outage. |

I'm running SETI@home Enhanced v6.03 due to a rather limited hardware/system configuration. There does not seem to be a way to accomplish cache loading as you suggest. |

There does not seem to be a way to accomplish cache loading as you suggest. Click on the orange(ish) Account link at the top & bottom right of this page, click on Computing Preferences, click on Edit Preferences, set "Maintain enough work for an additional" to 4 days. Save changes. The next time the client contatcs the Scheduler it'll get the new preferences. Grant Darwin NT |

Thanks for the brief refresher class on how to do the obvious. |

Thanks for the brief refresher class on how to do the obvious. I gather the obvious didn't work. The non-obvious is the BOINC core client local preferences, which override those web settings. Many people have looked at those preferences from the Advanced menu, clicked OK without changing any settings, and thereby locked in what was set on the 3 tabs of that dialog. Double check and either use the Clear button to exit (if you want to use web settings), or set them as you want and use OK to exit. I've been using those local settings since they take effect immediately rather than being delayed until after the next request to the Scheduler. Specifically, when I want to load up for the outage I set the "Connect about every" value to 3+ days (enough to last 'til Friday). The "Additional work buffer" is set to 0.375 which is compensation for inaccuracy of DCF and the possibility of tasks which exit early with result_overflow. Joe |
