Thanks again, Jim

You helped with my problem also. However, I have an addendum: I signed up for AstroPulse as well as Seti@home but have noticed that it affects my task average stats. How do I prevent AstroPulse from downloading and running so that Seti@home is the only project running? Thank you in advance. TDP

Astropulse and Seti are two separate applications that you can run through the Seti@Home project. You don't sign up for either of them.

You will be able to choose at every project under BOINC, which applications you want to run. You can do so from the Project Preferences page, from the your account page.

In the case of Seti, that's your account -> Seti@Home preferences, edit them and check/uncheck which of the application you want to run with, under the Run only the selected applications.. section.

Then save changes to the web site, open BOINC Manager;
In Simple view, select Seti@Home from the Project drop down menu, Project commands, Update.
In Advanced view, Projects tab, select Seti@Home, Update.

That gets your new preferences in that BOINC will use on all the next work requests. Any Astropulse work still in cache needs to be run or aborted.

Apropos, I don't see how running Astropulse could be affecting your recent average credit in any way, but positive. Credits for Astropulse (AP) lie multiple hundreds to over a thousand, whereas credit for Seti v7 are only in the multiple tens.

AP tasks are made from the same tapes as the Seti v7 tasks are made from. It's just that AP does searches in the broad band, whereas Seti v7 does searches in the narrow band. AP tasks are split first, and there won't be as many tasks of them split from the same data as there are Seti v7 tasks split. So AP tasks tend to run out earlier, which is why it may be difficult to get them.

Yet due to that scarcity and their longer run time, they pay better in credits. Run a couple of APs and your RAC skyrockets.
