Perhaps related to this: I have BOINC set to just a couple of hours of network time per day, mostly as an experiment.
When the time window opens, BOINC immediately connects to the scheduler, and starts the pending uploads. The scheduler session finishes before the uploads complete, and the work does not get reported until the network window on the following day. A solution might be to not allow AMS and/or scheduler transactions when networking first becomes available (on startup, and when the window opens), for a couple of minutes, plus an extra couple of minutes for each pending upload. A short hold-off for uploads would also be good. I've been thinking about this for a while, but for my situation the problem is mostly cosmetic. A little delay on start-up would take care of both issues. -- Lynn Willy de Zutter wrote: > I would like to request a shorter or dynamic backoff time for client to AMS > connections.
