I just started using BOINC (after being 5 years basic setiathome user), but since I\'m having problems downloading WUs for seti, I decided to use CPU time with climateprediction.
However now I\'m also facing problems with climateprediction and I\'m wondering what is wrong. The error I\'m getting is:

I am unable to find any settings or proferences menu from my BOINC 4.45 to set or change disk space. I tried the older BOINC, which showed correctly that I have almost 50 GB free disk space, but was also unable to download work units.
Does somebody have any clue, where the problem might be? My OS is Windows XP and network connection is ADSL connection.

It's not BOINC that needs the space, but the projects.

Not sure how much the others need each, but a CP model, when nearing completion, needs about 700Megs. After completion, files are zipped, which eases things a little.
Then there are the programs and misc files.
And if you decide to download the Advanced Viz, (blue menu to the left of here), that's another 28Megs or so.

And how do you arrange this space?
Just go to your home, (account), page, and select the prefs.
A couple of Gig should give you elbow room.

I think the error was in the server side, since now everything works perfectly for both setiathome and climateprediction. Maybe the only issue now is the pure size difference between those work units. While I have already complited some setiathome units, my first climate unit progress is only 1,69% (the resource setting is 50% for both). I hope this is ok and the climate units are just such larger.

Climate units are 800 hours or so on a fast machine. About 3 weeks.
