Apparently because the client already had information about those files. Since the client expected the files to be there but they weren't, it re-downloaded them. But missing or corrupt files shouldn't be re-downloaded if they are not currently needed, so you have a point... > Oh, and if the BOINC client knows that I don't want MW CPU tasks, why > does it keep asking for them ...

Because they are "project-specific preferences", which have project-specific syntax and meaning. The client doesn't even parse them. The client *doesn't* know that you don't want MW CPU tasks. It only knows that there are project-specific prefs saying "<gpu>0</gpu>" (or whatever) and passes them back and forth on the project and to the science apps (since there could be things like screensaver prefs in there), *without* parsing them. -- Nicolas _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
