Hi,

How do I force Boinc to download new WUs? My problem is, it refuses to get new ones because it thinks the load is sufficient already... So I've got once CPDN unit running, but no E@H or S@H...
I'd like it to use the resources as chosen by me - eg xx% of CPU time, even though the software thinks I'm going to run late...Is there a way to do it?

thanks.

If your host is overcommitted, by overriding BOINC's judgement of its workload you'd just be asking for problems: pushing it into EDF mode, missing some deadlines, or even both. And if it's refusing work because of a debt issue, that's precisely because it's trying to honour the resource-share settings you chose. Either way I wouldn't recommend messing with it.
