    I got 4 Wu's and shut off the Request for more, I don't see much point in running this Project unless you want to choke your Pc to Death with Downloads & Uploads.

    From what I can see you have to Download a Ton of Files & then the Wu only runs for less than a second & then you have to Upload all those files again. Why some projects are even started is beyond me.

    I have 0.02 Credits pending for the 4 Wu's and that's probably all I'll ever have until I see an improvement. The way the project is set up now all your going to be doing is taking System Resources away from the other projects that need them more than this Project does.

    I was away fro several hours, upon returning I have 1300 Work Units and the bandwidth is choking my system. So you were right, until they fix this it is not worth running it!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    My point exactly, I go through the same thing with the BOINC Alpha Project, if I try to run more than 1 Pc at the project my Network gets Choked up trying to Upload the 4 mb Files that only take 1 minute to run. So I only run 1 Pc at a time and it works okay then because the Uploads can keep up with the Downloads.

    But this sciLINC Project is ridiculous, with the less than 1 sec Wu's theres no way the Uploads can keep up with the downloads ...
