Hi,

Um, I seem to be getting dumped on with WU's. Last night Orbit, Leiden & BoincSIMAP dumped like 40 WU's on me all due by at latest 11 Sept 2010. I kind of aborted them and funny things started happening with my PC and I eventually ended up rebooting this morning. Orbit then dumped another 10 or 11 WU's on me again this morning and now Einstein has dumped 8 WU's on me. This is highly irregular. Has something changed recently to force excessive WU's down from multiple differetn sites ??

Cheers,
David

It may have changed if you've upgraded your BOINC version, or made changes to your prefs.

Decrease the number of days in your prefs for Maintain enough work for an additional, and you should get less work. (Also in the menu of the manager with slightly different wording.)

Hi,

I don't remember having updated BOINC since I installed it back in Feb of this year (current installed version being 6.10.18), though I did bump up the Additional Work Buffer to 5.0. So I think that may have been it. I've dropped it back down to 2.0, so I'll see how I go.

Cheers,
David
