LHC@home

Is it possible to set it up so that BOINC downloads multiple work units or not?

I know that there is always a limited amount of wu's to go around all the users but I just thought that being able to download multiple units (number limit of couse) would be most helpful.
Never know, might even mean that there are more wu's to go around since they'll be able to analyze "sets" & there may not be the users that are signed up to multiple projects loggin on daily for new wu's.

Adjust your global settings to connect every x days. It will download enough work for x to 2x days. I think the default is 0.1.

The maximum recommended value for the "Connect every" parameter for SETI or LHC (with 14 day deadlines) is 5 days. This will give you 5 to 10 days of WU's. However, you may want to start out with 2 or 3 days, and adjust as necessary.

Cheers,
