Last modified: 6 Jul 2018, 16:15:44 UTC Place the following in a file called - app_config.xml in the existing folder - universeathome.pl_universe under folder projects under folder BOINC under folder ProgramData on your system disk (C: ?) <app_config> <project_max_concurrent>2</project_max_concurrent> </app_config> This will allow only 2 concurrent Universe tasks. Change '2' to the maximum number of tasks you wish. From BOINC manager you will need to select 'settings'/'read configuration files' to activate. If you actually want to limit the number of concurrent BOINC tasks in total, you can do this on any one of your projects' home-page under account/computer settings. Then from BOINC manager, choose 'update' for the project where you made the change. ID: 2943 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
