3) Message boards : Number crunching : Question on no internet situation (Message 23719) Posted 23 Jul 2006 by old_user69386 Post: Hi everyone at CPDN! I\'m a student with some 8 machines crunching BOINC. I move next week into a new place, which unlike my old place, I have to pay for electricity. As a result I still want all of my computers to crunch. My solution is thus: Equip 7 computers on CPDN, and transport them to a place I know where I can get free electricity, but no internet access. After 6/7 months (assuming the WU\'s dont error out), either: a) transport the computers to my place to access the internet, upload all the trickles, then take them back (which would take around half a day to complete), or b) take out the HDD / copy the BOINC directory, put it onto my computer at my new place that has internet access, then upload the trickles. I go to and from both places on foot several times a week (I dont drive), and this would only require my attention for some 10 minutes each time As a result, my question stems from this problem: Which one of these solutions are feasable/would even work? In a perfect world, I\'d like A, but in a pinch I can go for B. All positive comments/solutions welcome =D NB These machines are old, and are predicted to run each WU for around 200-250 days at full pelt.
