WXPSP3
BOINC 6.2.14

hhmmm ......

I just just noticed the following in - - red - - on all three of my computers - on my Computer summary page

While BOINC running, % of time host has an Internet connection - 35.4844 %

since - I have always been running all three of my computers - - - 24/7/365 - - - Internet connection - - - cable - - - always connected

shouldn't it read - host has an Internet connection - 99 % of the time ?

or shouldn't the - 35.4844 % - be more closer to - 99 % - ?

or is there something I'm missing ? ..... and is it ..... doh!! ... on my part ... again ........... LOL __ :-))))

The internet connection detection code has not been worked on recently, so it still does not work properly. That is actually better than most hosts, usually the fraction is -1.
