1) Message boards : BOINC client : CPU time usage (Message 5895)

This will be a great deal. I got tired of having to clean out my PCs and replace the fans every couple months so I have shut down Boinc. With laptops the problem is even worse as its not easy to clean them or replace the fans.

Once this feature is available I will be thrilled to put my computers to work. I hope this feature will work for P4 also and not just the multi core CPUs.

I am happy to test for you guys.



You have mentioned that thit option will only be available in 5.6.x or later. It looks like I have to wait for quite a long time. T_T

The main developer comes back from vacation this week. We've been testing a pre-release client for the past 2 weeks. If it didn't give too many errors amongst the testers, there's a good chance that 5.6.5 will be released soon to the public.

I have found that anytime I change any WCG specific preferneces on the WCG site it screwsup the general settings also. I have to come back to Seti and make a change so that the proper settings get applied.

Hopefully this will get resolved soon.

PS: Will post on WCG forum also

I agree. I was looking thru the posts to see if this had been requested already otherwise I was going to post a enhancement request.
4) Message boards : BOINC client : Won't connect to localhost (Message 2591)

I have manually done the work around. Hopefully this will be addressed in a future release considering there is a port conflict with a Windows component.

I have been having this problem with 2 machines running XP. Why I don't have it with other, no idea. Boinc doesn't start when the system boots (sometimes it starts if it beats the other process to the punch) because port is in use. Port is being used by ALG.exe which is supposedly part of the windows operating system..

alg.exe
Application Layer Gateway service is a component of of Windows OS. It is required if you use a 3rd party firewall or Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. Do not end this program in task manager - you will lose all internet connectivity until next restart or login.

Now I am not running ICS or a third party firewall but alg.exe is running and grabs the port.

Any work around here ?
