This time, when the new WU started, a new WU downloaded. I aborted it. I immediately got another! What's going on?? ID: 29549 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The BOINC client on your computer is requesting that work. Check your local logs and settings. ID: 29550 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm half way through a WU and another sits there, waiting... I repeat - what's going on?? ID: 29563 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Why would I check my local settings? To see if your cache is set to something like 2days; which would result in downloading two tasks, running one and having the other sit in the queue.

I have NOT changed any of my BOINC setting in goodness-knows how many years, but I'm still getting new WUs downloaded soon after one starts. Which options should I set, to what, so I get, as before, a new WU 10 minutes before the current one finishes. Many thanks. ID: 29581 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
