Ok, this is not fun at all.

I've just put two boxes on this project yesterday night and I stopped crunching after the first round of downloads.

It pisses me off when I see wasted idle cycles that aren't being used. :swear:

I'm moving the two boxes back to d.net for now but if ever this project reaches prime time, let me know and I'll come back to it. :sleepy:

I've got work for one box this morning but not for the other one.

Can you please tell me how do you download more work?

I think both of mine on LHC have work now.

If you edit your BOINC General Preferences and set the "Connect to network about every" setting to something greater than the default 0.1 days, your client will ask for enough work to keep it crunching for that period. I have mine set to 1.0 days.

Thanks willy1.

I'll be sure to make the changes in my preferences.

I don't want to divide my processing power between so many projects. Hence, I picked only one project.

But never fear, I've started one BOINC client and one D.Net client side by side and it seems to work ok for now.
