I had a situation on version 6.10.58 in which I had no extra cache set, I used NNW on the projects I was running, I suspended all of the tasks and then allowed new work on one of the projects. BOINC would not ask for new work until I had aborted the tasks. Is that the way it is designed?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes.

As even suspended work is still work and BOINC knows it's there. It'll add that to the simulation when calculating if you need more work or not. Want to increase your cache? Increase the amount of "Additional days of work".

Yeah, I figured as much. Of course, I figured this AFTER I aborted everything. Grrrrr.

Thanks,
