good day guys! Just wanna ask if you can upload WU to Boinc? seems I cant! I have 4 WU to upload since 4 hours ago but no go. cant log in to wcg site too!

Nope, servers are down atm, so we all gotta wait before WU are uploaded. This is a good reminder to check your additional work buffer is set to something other than default.

Just over half day, so just over 12hr should be good. Good thing I changed that from 0.25 which is 6hours.. otherwise this cruncher would be left with nothing to crunch. Until servers are back up

p_o_s_pc · Feb 2, 2010

I forgot to change it on my i7 so it may have nothing to crunch soon if the servers don't get back up in the next 2hrs :banghead:

OK, servers seem to be down pretty bad. Guess I'll follow both your examples and increase the work buffer to couple days.

(FIH) The Don said:

Basically additional work buffer lets you choose how many days worth of WU your Boinc manager downloads whenever it connects to the server. So by having a few days for example, if you loose internet connection, or the servers are down, your computer will still have WU to crunch. Call it a failsafe to make sure you always have WU whatever the circumstance.

You can change this in your WCG device profiles or, much quicker, by going to advanced->preferences and changing the number in the following box:

As hat & CP suggested, probably better to keep that number to a few days, so you don't end up with the WU shortage the rest of us might suffer.

(FIH) The Don · Feb 2, 2010

thx man!, ill put it to 3 days then :toast:

KieX · Feb 2, 2010

Now, watch everyone have a BUMPER score tomorrow!

neoreif · Feb 2, 2010

Seems everything's back in business! jeesh! I exhausted all my WU and for the past 4 hours my PC had nothing to do! :banghead:

Have set my work buffer to 2 days now! :eek:

Going to be down from crunching for a few days. May stop folding also. See my specs for reasons being.

Chicken Patty · Feb 2, 2010

So you are waiting on new hardware Shaun?

(FIH) The Don said:

I see that you got a Q8200 up runing. That resulted in a 8th place in the national ranking (last update, that is). Go for the front page (top 100). I do.

Hey guys I see everyone talking about there work buffer.. I set mine to 2 days. If you don't plain on crunching 24/7 or have a some what fast rig.. then I wouldn't set past 2 days. You need to be able to finish the extra work.

I'm sure our older members know what there rigs can and can't do (CP, ION, etc. hehehe) I'm just posting that information for our new members. :toast:
