> Have they fixed the dial-up bug in 4.19?

Hello,
I have CC4.19 and a dial-up connexion and I didn't notice any bug.
Could you tell me what is the bug you mentionned, please ?
THX

Dial-up bug:
If you let BOINC do the dialling, it works OK until BOINC disconnects, and then it locks up.
Which is why I do it myself, with 'Disable BOINC network access' normally OFF.
Not a problem unless I forget to reset it, then I find, 12 hours later, that it has been sitting there
doing nothing, after logging on and off for me 2 hours ago. Programs can be TOO helpfull at times. :(

Even if it IS fixed, I may not upgrade. I'm allergic to upgrades.

Les

Thanks
I didn't notice this bug because I always open the dial-up connexion myself and never let any program do it. Far too dangerous :o)

Thanks to all for the timely & kind responses to my upgrade question. I guess I may as well go for it, since 4.19 does have some additional file upload/download features, which may help insure more robust file x-fers (AKA rationalizing something to do, 'cuz I'm bored-as-a-gourd whenever my wife works these straight-thru multiple weekend shifts - You know it's pretty bad when you spend Satuday nite defragging your HDD's). :-(

The professor mentioned a major revision is due in March, but for that upgrade, I'll probably due my usual sit-on-the-sidelines for a few weeks, while the other guinea pi...uh...er...my fellow crunchers adopt & evaluate the new rev for a while. ;-)

So I probably won't be upgrading, after this one, for a while.

Thanks again,

Strat

BTW - I decided I'll back up the entire BOINC folder, & set a Sys Restore Pt first. I'm blown away by the fact that my BOINC folders display as 4 - 6GB in size, as shown under thier 'properties'!!! Whoa baby...I've run lots of DC proj's, but this sure seems awfully large to me! Yowsa. :-0

Hi,

The boinc folder size can be reduced considerably, making B/U faster, by creating an Archive folder outside your CPDN boinc folder and transferring all completed CPDN runs to the archive -- ~330 Meg per finished run, zipped.

HTH.

@AstroWX - Thx. Even though I never poked around much in the BOINC folder, I figured BOINC must be archiving models or model data, since my newest machine had just under 1GB in data, & my older high producing machine had >6GB. Guess yiour suggestion is one of those things I'll have to get around to doing as time permits. thanks, again

@All- Well, 48 hrs have passed since my 4.13 ---> 4.19 upgrade. All six machines seem to be nicely crunching away on all twelve models. Several models have even successfully phase transisitoned, w/o incident. No models, as of yet, have since completed & uploaded, which, IMO, is the supreme test. But I feel pretty good 'bout the way things are going, and suspect things will go smoothly upon the models' completions.
