[RESOLVED] Download of more then two WU at my computer

Hi,

I was browsing this forum to find a way how can I download more then 2 WU at my computer. My internet connection is not that stable and when I return from work connection is severed and my boinc is out of wu's, so it is wasting time and not processing any units.

Maybe there are some topic in which this is explained but I was unable to find them, so if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thank You in advance

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

There's 2 ways:

1. Increase in the web profile, radio button Custom, the cache, for x.xx days

2. In the Client preferences under the disk tab, the additional buffer.

Don't set it too high. If you do, you wont get work and your client will start running in panic mode.

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

I have changed as You said and the profile is set as :

Connect to network about every 0.3 days
Cache 4.0 extra days of work

and no change I still get two WU at one time. Did I do something wrong

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

Plz go into the Advance menu of your client and hit the clear button right top. This way you avoid conflicts, mostly incomprehension incurred by many members who cant get their web profile to take effect.

Of, course, the web profile needs to transfer to the client. To speed that up go to the client Projects tab, select WCG and hit the Update button on the left.

When you're done, please restart the client and post the start up log, about the first 30 lines.

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

I am affraid there is no clear button on my advance menu, I am using 6.2.28 version

When I go to project tab and hit update I get the following msg:

18.2.2010 19:14:21|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
18.2.2010 19:14:26|World Community Grid|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks

I would like to add that I am participating in all project except FAAH for now.

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

Presuming you're in the so called Advanced View of BOINC, there's the Advanced Menu. On There there is Preferences. When you open Preferences you see that Clear button.

Sorry for omitting the preferences bit.

Re: Download of more then two WU at my computer

It worked, thank You, I just didn't know where to find clear button, You helped a lot, and sorry for these rookie mistakes.

That's great. Mostly we get to a solution, the fast or not so fast way.

If you please edit your opening post of this thread and insert [RESOLVED] in the title like I've just done above, we can put this thread to bed.

happy crunching, on- and off-line
