I set the "Leave at most" to 2Gb and it apears to be working. It downloaded fine and is crunching away.

Thanks for the help.

I recently installed BOINC on an older computer that I had laying around. It installed without issue, but when it starts to download work for SETI@Home, it request over 86,000 seconds of work. (my newer, more powerful rigs only get 30-150 seconds at a pop) As a result it says that it needs something like 17 GB of hard drive space for that and that is more than I have available on that drive.

Am I doing something wrong here?

It's an HP Celeron running Win XP home.

I'll post more info when I get home and can give you specs on the computer.
