Hello all!

I use internet via my cellphone, i'm illimited, but i connect my PC only during night, using my cellphone during the day. The trouble is when internet is back on the pc, (i connect on my router/usb thetering) the BOINC Manager don't automatically refresh. The timer for the upload go to like 14 Hours before trying to connect to the projet server, so if i don't do manual refresh, no work are processing.

Did there a way that BOINC refresh upload/dowload when i re-connect the internet?

BOINC doesn't refresh the timers when you reconnect. Since you only connect your computer during the night, try setting a time limit for network activity. In advanced view, go to tools, select computing preferences, and go to the network tab. There, you'll see an option for limiting activity to certain hours of the day. So if your computer is always connected from 10 PM to 7 AM (for an example) you would set allow network usage during the hours of 22:00-7:00.

This way, instead of counting up to crazy wait times like 14 hours, BOINC waits until the selected time slot.
