Hi all,
Have transferred over to BOINC but it just seems to sit there and do
nothing, says it has a work unit but the time scale for completion and the
progress report just dont' change so decided to switch back to classic
until
all major problems (ie server down, no wu's, program bugs) have been
resolved.
But my question is this:
How high as anyone set the cache in Setidrive to? I normally varify
between
15-21 as some weeks i use my pc a lot other times not so much and i don't
want to be stocking up on wu's when there's no need.
I'm heading over for about 3 weeks and was gonna but it to 65 as i reckon
my
pc would work 1 wu in about 8hrs give or take so figure that's a good bet.
Any ideas to what i'm just throwing out there?

John,
Before I built a small "farm" of networked PC's, I used SETI Driver (+ CLI)
to cache around 50 or 60 WU's on a single PC. This was when I was on
dial-up, so SETI Driver enabled me to log on maybe on a weekend (when phone
rates were cheaper) to upload/download WU's.
Now I use SETI Queue and each PC runs SETI Driver with a cache of:
1 for the single CPU PC's, 2 for the "duallies" and 6 for a six-CPU server.
