As I see it works now. Since yesterday, I’ve had 79 successful runs. I also checked the logs containing Sim_tf.py lines, so it’s probably using it. However, the download speed varies between 50 kbps or 500 kbps. At least in native version.

I also got of bunch of tasks that finished with error. I don't think this is client side error. However, yesterday there were a few good pairs that ran with 50 events.

With native version also produced many valid but "No HITS result produced" results:

As I see:

As I see it, this limit is set up in the work generator, determined by max_nbytes
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/JobTemplates

In source code says default is 1 GB. So probably, there is 2 GB limit in the work generator.

<output_template>
<file_info>
<name><OUTFILE_0/></name>
<generated_locally/>
<upload_when_present/>
<max_nbytes>32768</max_nbytes>

</file_info>

<max_nbytes>
maximum file size. If the actual size exceeds this, the file will not be uploaded, and the job will be marked as an error.

I also found 2 bad native runs:

Yes, they are really long tasks (as I see all of them herwig7):

My longest was:
Run time 4 days 20 hours 14 min 14 sec
CPU time 4 days 8 hours 48 min 25 sec

Here shows the average jobs run time: 3817.1 minutes (about 2.6 days per task) and was 513 successful run.

Today, I successfully reported my longest theory native app run without UPS. I hope my computer has really performed useful calculations.
I think I will continue with the CMS task, as they only take about 14-16 hours per work unit.
