1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : how to limit the number of work units that i download (Message 16221)

I have read that it\'s normal to get work units that take 700+ hours to complete. I currently have 5 work units on my system, so with 2 CPUs, only two are running. Why would BOINC download so many work units to just sit on my hard drive? Shouldn\'t it wait until the first two are done, or at least only download one extra, instead of three extra? It seems a waste, like somebody else should be processing the work units that I won\'t even be starting on until weeks from now when the first two are completed.
