One thing you can try is to suspend the other projects when you see LHC next has work. This should force a download from LHc once the client spots that it has no work it is allowed to run.

Be careful doing this, you can end up over committed.

----

To do this stop BOINC from crunching, then edit the client_state.xml file. There is already a backup as a syntax error can break your client - but if you are nervous you may want to keep a manual backup as well. Under the LHC project find the long term debt and fill in a number like 333333333 (that is 9 digits). This represents about ten years debt, so you will not need to do this again soon! Save the file, restart BOINC. To balance the books, the client will force all other projects into negative debt, meaning they will only download work when LHC has none, and only one result at a time.

I hope one of these ideas proves of use.[/quote]


Many thanks for the info - certainly something to think about for next time

LHC has been set to receive work at all times, since the recent work available cycle my computer did not ask for any. I have updated a few times & reset the project.

Now LHC has ran out of work, and guess what!, my computer has started to request work. I have not been overcommited. How can I can make sure I get work next time?
