True - although also don't forget, that the estimate of 29% is based on duration, not # of WU's done. So, although it's taken ~135 days to get where we are at the moment, I'd guess that there's still plenty of opportunity for everyone to reach a very good badge level

Set upload limit in prefs to 84K and download to 192K and increment concurrent upload/download files to 3 in cc_config.xml file: Sample layout, pure text.

<cc_config>
  <options>
     <max_file_xfers>6</max_file_xfers>
     <max_file_xfers_per_project>3</max_file_xfers_per_project>
  </options>
</cc_config>

This has particular positive effect on the ZIP files which seem to drain CPU power too and slow browsing and other net activity. The none ZIP seem to not be affected by the UL/DL limit and still come down, here at least in speeds up to 1.6Mb, pre compression, well above the CEP2 bandwidth hurdle. Width these I'm not incurring any restarts resulting in the eye rolling effect of seeing more download/upload MBees than the actual indicated file sizes.

Trial and error as those bandwidth settings work for me, every time.

Decided to do a upload/download this evening, (switched projects first), so I could get some of these wu's. Switched it back after I received some. Want to see how it behaves under windows before going all out.

Ah, thanks, didn't see the other thread. It hasn't affected my throughput--I've never been short of units.

It's a bit weird to get used to the start of these units--it's solid disk access for about the first minute or so.

Can't seem to download any work units.
