Yes, that can be your opinion.

Look again at what they are doing and then comment again...

Yes that is my opinion. And with the cache set at 0.5 my machines would run dry in a few hours. I kindly ask you to /read/ before you give a bitchy reply. I wrote /at the moment/. Want to dispute that? I didn't write it as a general remark over the BOINC system. And the eventual criticism from me would be the lack of redundancy in the system, not the system itself.

Boinc and s@h are working very well for quite a long 'moment' now, and with the largest number of active users ever seen.

And why is 0.5 days cache not good enough for you? Are you on dial-up or some other infrequently connected connection?


What is your /complaint/ exactly? And what more could or should Berkeley be doing for you?

Good luck,
Martin
