Okay guys, 5 weeks notice so let us all do the hoard & dump thing well in advance. Further prompts will follow. Unless I forget of course.

How can one achieve maximum hoarding? Any particular settings? Increase BIONC usable HDD space?

(I would love to give Mr Hankey a run for his money)

You probably already have enough disc space. Here is one hoard and dump method... Naturally your wingmen will complain bitterly for a few days and some projects like SIMAP limit the number of WUs you can have on your system (es. SIMAP = 60 per core).

In the following order:

1. Set all other rojects to "no new tasks".
2. Deliver all possible WUs from other projects and check deadlines...
3. Set the minimum and maximum days work on Boinc to 5-10 days.
4. Switch off network connection.
5. Run silent an mysterious until after start of comp.
6. (After start of comp) switch on network connection, target and fire away...

The alternative would be to hijack Rackspace or Amazon.com and dedicate either or both to the project in question... 8)
