BOINC Manager 7.0.25 64 bit problem

Post by UBT - Rick Horn »

Is anyone having problems getting new work using the 7.0.25 64 bit BOINC Manager?
I have tried Poem, Rosetta and Primaboinc, and cannot get any more work for any of these projects, but when I tried Primaboinca with V 6.12.34, I got boat loads of work.
I`m keeping 6.12.34, and all seems fine atm. Looks like there`s a bug with 7.0.25 64 bit.

don't know if you are aware of the cache changes - some folk have been caught. The two boxes in preferences for cache have flipped in functionality.

Left box is the main cache - set for preferred minimum cache and it will maintain that minimum level.

Right box is for additional cache - that's the extra cache you want held over and above the minimum cache.

The new maximum cache is therefore the addition of both boxes, and it will reduce cache down to the level in the left box, then refill adding the amount specified in the right box.

Some have been caught on changing to 7.0.25 by keeping the left box at zero which many did with 6.X.X - end result, no cache and some head scratching :).
