I bumped my preferences up to 3 days and got way too much work, so I cut this off, and ran out; now
I can't get any. I can not understand why the SSP says work is available but the messages screen
says "(Project has no jobs available)".
Anyway, that aside, does anyone understand the difference between the "days of work" on the web page
versus the boinc setting? Specifically, I mean the setting at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ =>
"Preferences" => "Computing Preferences" => "Maintain enough work for an additional ? days" versus
"Boinc 6.6.31" => "Advanced" => "Preferences" => "Network usage" => "Additional work buffer ?.??
days" ? Which one controls how much work you actually get?

Thanks. DaveT

I'm sorry, I may be responsible for the recent outages. All of the pieces came for my new computer last week and as soon as I had it running the SETI servers screwed up. Two days ago I put together another machine from all of the spare parts I had lying around. Guess what happened when I got it up and running :)

I guess the SETI guys have it all sorted out, all of my machines are crunching now.

Something I learned the other day; the settings you select in the BOINC program will over-ride the settings you select on the web interface.
