BOINC 3.20 available - all standard platforms

[BC]

I think it's time to ask boinc dev for a 'removal / cleanup' tool.....
especially since 4.0 is about to come out... 3.21 (M2) is now 4.0.

we'll have the GUI fully detached from the running service... and (if i read it right), it will handle multiple hosts...

I will inform as I hear.

Ok guys,
I have been watching your scores. Since I'm new to the DC competition world, how are you tuning your upload / download, min/max settings to get such great results?

I am making progress, but have to struggle for all that I get. Is it my virus scanner on the main machine that is killing me?

FYI... i have an average of 1000-1100 pts in 'pending. it tends to hover there. My job spread keeps picking up jobs that are due in short order (today got one due 7/24).

What's the trick?

Kill any unnecessary services and/or applications that will steal priority from Predictor. Antivirus in autoprotect mode isnt good, but it would depend on your personal activity.
My pending credits have gone from 2514 4 days ago, to 3919 today, the only things I have changed is disk write time to 600 secs, cache to .1-.3 days, and 1 machine running Linux now instead of Windows.

i have turned all my anti virus and stuff off........i turn it on when i surf the net on my 2800 but dont leave it on when i crunch.
I'm behind a NAT so i dont run any software firewalls.
about all i have running besides M$ services is the overclocking utilityes of the board... if it has one. some of mine dont

i have my it set to write to disk every 120 seconds
cache is set at .1 to .3 days

You think that is short order. On 7/12 I picked up 5 that were due on 7/13!

I agree with everything said here about speeding Predictor up.

One thing I've noticed is that if you look at the process in the task manager you'll find that Mfold's priority is low. I set mine to normal.

It could help
