Hello,

this is a problem that happens alot and is very annoying
whenever the server hits a glitch or whatever my pc runs out of work minutes later
when work is on the server again my machine will just sit their not asking for any
today it sat for 5 hours without asking for any until i noticed it and just forced it too
is there a way to force your machine too ALWAYS look for new work every few minutes so youve always got the most you can have ?

best regards
Ian

I just use Collatz and DnetC as backup projects on my 5830 host, if I run out of Milkyway work it will request 1 unit of work from Collatz or DnetC and crunch it.

This is using the "0" resource share setting.

Mine is the same with Collatz, on a 0.25 day cache.
Go away, I was asleep

hi,

maybe i didnt explain the problem well enough
it only takes the server to run out of work for 10 or 12 mins and my machine runs out of work
even if the servers fill up with work after 20 mins my pc will just sit there and not ask for any of the new work
my other machine ( far slower ) will continually run and download work although it very rarely actually runs out of work unless the servers down an hour or more

any ideas without attatching to other projects ?

best regards
Ian
