I've always had preferences set so that a new WU gets downloaded minutes before the current WU finishes. That gives the best chance of my modest GTX 460 earning max bonuses. | |

Depends on your BOINC cache settings. Specifically the "Min work buffer" and "Max additional" figures. Can you tell us what you have for these two values? For my GPUgrid crunchers I use: Min work buffer = 0.01 Max additional = zero That means it will only try and maintain enough work to keep the CPU and GPU busy and assumes you have a full-time network connection. ____________ BOINC blog | |

I changed them for your settings and binned the early WU. I was not around for the end of the current WU but it reported at 16:04:56 UTC and the next WU downloaded at 14:17:39 UTC, so it was ready to run when the current WU upload began. I'll keep watching... Thanks for responding!! ____________ | |
