Hi,
I often use trains, sitting there 3 to 4 hrs using my laptop.
Unfortunately the file transfer seems to be blocked there, maybe by using unusual ports. This results in unnecessary idle time.
Is there a way to use different ports/protocols for the file transfer, which are not blocked by bublic WIFI?

File transfer uses normal internet connections over port 80 or 443 (https). So basically: if you can surf you can download/upload workunits.

Maybe you should increase the workbuffer (Maintain enough tasks to keep busy for at least X) on your laptop. So you can download enough work to keep the laptop busy.

THX for the quick answer.

I can increase the work buffer, if I remember to do that the day before :))
