right, I just reduced the number of retries, down to 5, though you could probably put 0, and moved the first request time closer to the next request time. Boinc seems to have accepted this, guess I bought that upload some more time!

Work doesn't need to be lost...I don't think.

For those who have the skills, maybe we can edit BOINC's client_state.xml file, under C:\ProgramData\BOINC for me

I just had a look and found this section:

Notice the persistent_file_xfer bit. We could probably just alter the number of retries, request times and time-so-far don't you think?
