Hi dacaldar,

If you open up BOINCmanager and hit the Disk tab, you see a pie-chart indicating the overall space used. My 4 core machine has a few days buffered work and indicates 130mb being used by BOINC and the work units.

The end results take very little space like 60 to 200k except AC@H which takes 133mb but if you have one, it's one of the 820 copies in circulation.... a rare project item to get. Opposed, the big space is used while a job is in progress which is partly stored in the RAM and partly in the Swapfile (pagefile). That I've placed with some Operating System tweaking in it's own 5gb partition (Drive E:), so it never gets fragmented ensuring optimal system speed. Space used per job in there can go as high as 350mb for a running DDDT job, but as said, the product is like a few hundred kilobytes.

Forget about the points. That is an archaic UD agent thing when disk space was rare and counts very very little towards points. It is not considered for BOINC.

As what Keck said, a future release will allow the separate locating of the project data. It will be going into a special user directory and understand that the location can be chosen during install, which you can do now too. Presently you can choose for BOINC to be installed to any disk partition.

When looking, the progress files are stored in \slot0 \slot1 directories. Don't touch them while BOINC is running!

cheers
