Myself have nothing to complain about the 6.4.5 version of Bionic. I would suggest that 2 more command buttons be added. Suspend All Resume All It would be nice to be able to suspend all or ready to start packets. This way I do not have to select each packet individually to suspend so I can free up a processor. I have a quad core and like having 2-3 processors working on packets while I do my own thing (surf / email / ect). Instead of the alternatives of shutting the program right down completely or suspending each ready to start packet. This way, I can click Suspend All and turn back on 2-3 packets. I hope that is clear!! Keep up the crunching!! |

That option is already built into BOINC 6.4.5, just select all tasks you want to suspend and click suspend. 6.4.5 has multiple tasks and projects selection. |

I've heard far and wide that using the throttle causes problems, but I use it all the time on a particular server to prevent overheating, and I've never experienced a single problem. I know it "throttles" by constantly suspending and resuming WUs. Maybe the projects that I run on it aren't adversely affected (Cosmology, World Community Grid). What type of problems do people have? |

Ok, I see it now.. Suspend the "project", not just the "task".. Then resume only the amount of tasks you want to run.. Thanks for the help guys. |
