Imagine my consternation when I discovered the deadline for the Tanpaku WU's was just over eight hours... Please modify your server to not deliver WU's if the "Connect to Network" is LONGER than the WU deadline time AND GIVE US AN ERROR MESSAGE explaining WHY!!! Ned ID: 4964 ·

However, I assumed that WU distribution was a BOINC supplied funtion, not a project specific function... From you comment, I'm assuming BOINC supplies the function, but the project supplies input parameters for its execution. Ned ID: 4984 ·

The BOINC software on the project's servers must be adequately programmed by the project. They can also program their scheduler to give additional information which then shows up in the BOINC program on your computer. But it's all server sided, thus you need to ask the project about this.
