Once in a while, I am able to download a Rosetta Python task, and when it's being processed, the image.vdi is about 7GB. However, mostly I CANNOT download, BOINC notification says e.g. "you need 6.383MB more disk space" while I have some 12.6GB free disk space available. Which obviously means that for downloading a Python task, some 19GB free disk space is needed, whereas, in reality the task, while being processed, needs some 7GB only. How come?

WCG in the Krembil version is not giving me any task and SETI@home is dead. Tullio ID: 106870 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
