It seems that GPUGRID downloading work unit too early, too fast. Even before I managed to process 33% of current workunit, it already download new work unit or something like that.

I there a way I can set so that it will only download new workunit when current is like 80% completed, or only when current is completed?

Check you BOINC cache settings (connect every x and additional work). It sounds like you've got them too high. Basically if you don't want it keeping work on-hand reduce them to zero assuming you have a full-time internet connection.

Thanks, I'll see how thing goes. Hope it won't download new work unit until current one was finished and uploading.
