Hi, I ask this question because I have satellite internet only and am restricted in the time I can dload WU's. My problem is currently 40 wu's will only run for 2 to 3 hours on my pc's. I have an 11 hour window where I am unable to download more. Can the amount be changed or is it set be the project? |

Yes, from your account page select Computing preferences and then at the bottom of the page in the Network usage section you will see the following prompts. Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least (max 10 days). 1 days ... and up to an additional 0.01 days The first one is obvious and the second controls how often checks are made to refill the cache. The smaller the number the more often the check. In your case you may want to set it to one or larger. I use the settings above as there is always a network connection. |

Cache is set to min 4days and max plus 3 days. It only keeps 40 wu's per gpu core....2 to 3 hrs work. |

It only keeps 40 wu's per gpu core That's what you are allowed to have on Milkyway, the server won't give you more than that. |

More than 3 per core on a CPU would be nice. That's only a couple of hours as well for me. |

At least you can get a couple of hours worth. 40 GPU WUs only last me about 22 minutes :/ |
