1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Transfers Tab not working? (Message 8241)
Posted 15 Feb 2007 by LuDean
Post:
Since I installed the beta, and later, version 5.8.11, I have not seen a single entry under the Transfers tab in BOINC Manager. I am certain that files are being transfered, because BOINC always has work to do listed under the Tasks tab, and I periodically see finished files which later dissapear. Has this function been disabled, or is this a bug, or is there something wrong with my installation?
2) Message boards : BOINC client : version 5.8 CPU limiter yo-yos (Message 7054)

I downloaded and installed the latest experimental version of BOINC (5.8). While looking at CPU usage in WinXP"s Task Manager, I observed the CPU usage bouncing up and down like a yo-yo. While set at 50%, it would bounce from 30 to 80% like clockwork. is this normal for this feature? Will later builds attempt to even this out some?

Givin past experience with BOINC developers, how long are we talking here... weeks, months, before release?

Abandoned? You mean they have no intention of releasing it for general use? That would be dissapointing. From the download page, it sounded like it was simply a beta version still in testing.

By the way, it is possible to run BES from the Start folder with a specific program listed in the command line. I found out how to do it from the programmer's web site.

I'm looking forward to the 5.6x as well, though, becaase I don't like having oodles of little appplets rnning all the time.

How does one set network connections to suspended? If I do so, will I have to change it back if I want it to connect when I do happen to be online?

If I happen to ignore the reminders, what consequence will that have on the conpletion of the work units?

I have a dialup internet connection. Is there any way to reduce the frequency at which the BOINC client demands a network connection? The frequent appearance of these pop-up messages is wearing me thin. What effects would ignoring these messages have on the eventual completion of these work units?

Boinc adopted the Linux numbering scheme In the version number ?.x.? if x is even, it is a public release, if x is odd, then it is a beta release. So you will only see even number releases on the download.


Thanks's. It now makes sense to me.

Thanks to both for your responses. Nothing really wrong with the version I am running then. Hadn't heard that there was a version 4.6 coming up soon. Whatever happened to 4.5? I saw it listed on a version list on the web site, but have never seen it available for download.

Is CPU usage throttling implemented yet in version 5.4.11 ? I downloaded this version earlier today and installed it. I have CPU usage limited to 50% in Boinc's Preferences, but it is still running at 100%. I have tried clicking the update button to force the software to get my most recent preferences, and have tried shutting down and restarting the program.
