Update... I decided to clear my preferences and put the disk space amounts on the web preferences. Once I did that, work downloaded and started to process. Apparently there seems to be a bug or something that prevents work from being downloaded when I use the override preferences. All seems to work now, but it should be something that developers look into.

Ok, I updated it to 50 GB, and then to 75 GB and still receive the same message from SZTAKI and it's always the same. What space am I supposed to free?

I have 155GB free on a 288GB partition. All my other projects run without problems, it is just this particular one.

One project, SZTAKI, reports that it has work but I need to free up space. Here is the message:

There is a bonic.exe running and two bonicmgr.exe running. There is no bonictray executing.

I used the client interface to set my preferences.

Here are some messages right before I have the time set to suspend work:

7/3/2008 3:28:04 PM|Einstein@Home|Resuming task h1_1107.15_S5R3__51_S5R3b_0 using einstein_S5R3 version 426

At the bottom, I just added more disk space allocation. You can see that at 3:30pm that computations are suspended, however, PrimeGride, Einstein@Home, SETI@Home and something called had3mctransum is running.

Version 5.10.45

Projects include: Einstein@Home, SETI@Home, uFluids, PrimeGrid, climateprediction.net.

I've also noticed two boincmgr.exe running in the task manager.

I have my preferences set to run while I am out for the day and also to run while late at night. However, I am now finding that even though the client indicates that the work has suspended because of "time of day", the CPU clock continues to show progress, and if a task manager is displayed, it shows several of the tasks running, taking up precise memory and cpu. Any ideas?
