I have it set to connect every 0.5 days.
Is this too often for a system online 24/7?

In that way you won't have many WU to crunch if servers are down.

It's a bit tricky with that WU-cache.
The more days you set - the more WU's you will get.
Lets say you have a computer that finnished a WU in 2 hrs. It will return the result immidiatly.

I've set the work-cache to 10 days and that gives me aprox 6 days of work with optimized clients.

Thanks for that.
I've now set prefs for 10 days.
All I need now is to actually download the work units it's listed.
I suspect there is a network problem somewhere between my computer and seti's

S@h seems to have the situation under control, since a few hours ago.
Hitting the update button on BOINC Manager should get your machine downloading 10 days' worth of WUs.

Good luck!

It's got to the stage where work has run out. I hope you get it sorted soon.

Increase the size of your cache in your preferences.

Set "Connect to network about every" to 4 days is usually enough, although you can set this up to 10 days.

You'll find it under general prefs
