Hiya

I'm not new to this, done seti for years did play with boinc when it first came out but drifted away from the scene - I have been reading about the climate prediction and this has got me very interested again - rather waste energy trying to fix our problems than wasting it looking 'out there'

I don't have broadband due to the location of my residence, home net access is solely through mobile phone - can anyone tell me if this is a register once or is it work unit based like seti?

Obviously if there are a lot of packets needing to fly about it would not be feasible.

Cheers for any answers
 
The BBC CPDN work unit I have is estimated to take 78 days on a AMD Athlon 64 3000+

The work unit will trickle data back after a certain number of calculations but it's not nescasary, it will quite happily wait till it's finished upload in one go and get another WU theres a deadline of 1 year to complete my work unit as well.

The download is reasonably small and the upload at the end is 10MB I think, but you will need perhaps a 1GB or more of Hard disk space (don't quote me on that) as the work unit slowly completes, I've done 0.86% and it's used 463.5 MB already
 
cheers for the info I will get downloading then!

That does sound a lot of drive space for it (not that I am short but still)

Be nice to get the computer doing something constructive again!

Can anyone tell me how large the complete download for this and or boinc? I basically want to know if I could download it or home or do it at work and burn it
