Last week I started using BOINC. I set everything up for half a days
work just to see how everything worked. It connected and downloaded 6
WUs, like it was supposed to.

When I tried to upload the finished WU's, (I had disabled network
access until they were all finished) the BOINC site was down. I did
the detach then (re)attach thing and lost the 6 WUs.

Now I have everything set up to download 1 full day, but I am only
getting 1 or 2 at a time. These are the settings I have, are they
right:

Keep enough work to last between .1 and 1 days.

That is the setting you need to change. Boinc doesn't download new
units until the expected run-time for the units you have is less than
the minimum time you have set. To keep a 1-day queue, you need to set
that to 1 to 1.5 days, then it will try and download when you have
less than 24 hours of work in your queue.

Use no more than 1 GB.

Leave at least 0.01 GB.

Use no more than 50% of total space.

Thanks, all help is appreciated.

You are welcome!
