The reason I ask is that with holiday time coming up fairly soon, I would hate to have WU's on comp that are going to expire. I think this would be unfair on the other 2 people that may have crunched it and are waiting for me. I thought about lowering my cache right down, but its still a bit hit and miss. Would "Detaching" from project hand them back or just leave them to expire? Thanks... |

You can see the deadline of the WUs in the GUI. If you want to reduce your cache, set it to 0.1-0.1. The leading zero is important. There is a bug that sometimes causes .1 not to function properly. 0.1 will work. If you detach, the WUs will hang out in limbo until they expire. Then they can be re-added to the pool to be re-sent. <a> |
