Sounds complicated, but really easy once you've done it once :) Or if you use Boincstats, just go via BAM. Al. ID: 19144 · Reply Quote

The only project that doesn't work well for me through BAM is WCG. Everything else appears to work quite well and instantly. In my experience, WCG doesn't play nice with BAM!, and CPDN isn't showing the correct resource share either. Another issue I have using BAM! is that with Rosetta you can set the length of WU, but if you change the resource share via BAM! it will reset the WU length preference to default. Also, BAM! will override your resource share that you set at the individual project's website, if this is a problem then that will basically defeat the purpose of using BAM!.
