I am totally at a loss as to how to set up BOINC so that it uses the
resources, I have it set as the following...

Do work while computer is in use?	yes
Do work only between the hours of	(no restriction)
Leave applications in memory while preempted?     yes
Switch between applications every	60 minutes
On multiprocessors, use at most	2 processors

Disk and memory usage
Use no more than	5 GB disk space
Leave at least		2 GB disk space free
Use no more than	50% of total disk space
Write to disk at most every	60 seconds
Use no more than	75% of total virtual memory

Network usage
Connect to network about every 	0.1 days
Confirm before connecting to Internet?	no
Disconnect when done?		no
Maximum download rate:		no limit
Maximum upload rate:			no limit

And then BOINC tells me the following for the drive

Free space			(9.2GB)
Used Space : non-BOINC	(4.2GB)
Used Space : BOINC		(8.0GB)
Free Space : BOINC		(5.0GB)

What I'm not sure about is why it's telling me that it is using 8GB when
I tell it to use no more than 5 and leave at least 2GB and not to use
more than 50% of the total disk space... ?

It's not a problem as this is an 18.4GB partition of a HD of 14.2GB is
still free even with BOINC and everything else on there.... 

TIA
