BOINC and MW has started this very irritating behavior where it downloads 1 work unit
– crunches it – uploads it – requests more work – and then repeats the stupid process over and over again .

I have a core 2 duo and, it used to always send me 12 at a time.

I am using the new 0.20 app. Win XP 32bit – Catalyst 8.12 – on a
Radeon 4850.

I am using BOINC 6.10.5 – it was doing the same thing with 6.10.4 and 6.10.3

I think I remember reading about this behavior in the past on the forum but, I cannot find it.


Thanks,

In Boinc is your 'connect every' set to over 3 days? It needs to be under 3 to get more than 1 wu.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Thanks Banditwolf !

That is “exactly” what the problem was ! I had changed it a few days ago
to connect every 4.5 days because one of my other projects
(Einstein) was not sending me enough cpu work.


It must have something to do with the 3 day completion time limit
on Milky Way.


Thanks a Lot !!!

Your welcome. To compensate for the short time raise the 'buffer' setting in Boinc. I used to run 10 days connect, and ended up at .5 connect and 6.5 buffer. It works just as well to me.

Yes with a greater than 3 day return Boinc thinks the wus wouldn't get returned in time so only 1 is requested.

What I'd like to know is how you got 6.10.5 since its not on either the Boinc download_all or Index of /dl pages.

Thanks for the link... I think I'll wait for the official alpha version. I don't have a GPU, so I have no pressing need for most of the bug fixes.
