hello all ,
I'm new to this boinc thing and am having an issue with the milkyway project.
here is the message i get -
10/27/2009 2:44:46 PM Milkyway@home Message from server: No work sent
10/27/2009 2:44:46 PM Milkyway@home Message from server: MilkyWay@Home needs 14.31MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 14.31 MB.

I dont understand where it needs this 14megs from but I have over 500Gigs free & over 2 gigs of available ram ... i did a clean install of this version and deleted other projects. so anyone got any ideas ? any help would be appreciated.

If you go to you account on Milkyway@home, on your Computing preferences page,
you need to increase your Disk and memory usage, to something like:

Use at most: 10 GB disk space

then click update on Boinc.

And also check the local preferences (disk and memory usage tab).
