Newbie RC5 config question for TACube, just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Please help.

this is my ini file; also I have the check interval at 3hrs to fetch work but how can I prevent it from flushing work, everytime I restart it, it fetches (ok) and flushes workk (not ok). I want to flush work manually only. Any ideas.

checkpoint-filename=cp
frequent-threshold-checks=1
threshold-check-interval=3:00

All you need to do is edit out the lines below in bold from your dnetc.ini file.

checkpoint-filename=cp
frequent-threshold-checks=1
threshold-check-interval=3:00

You already have the threshold set for 500 WUs, so that it will still flush/fetch up to 500 WUs when you do connect.

Your Duron @900 might eat those blocks before the day is done if you only get small WUs, so you'll want to watch it.

You could run yourself a dnet pproxy, to feed your machine, and stockpile the blocks untill your ready to fluch them.

Thanks, for the info. I've upped it to 1000WU is that ok ?
how much can we up it. like can I get 5000WU just in case I'm not here for a few days.

On a Duron 900 I'm doing [3.06 Mkeys/s] if you want to know, so total I'm doing about 5.5 MKeys/s..... damm you Borg, now look what you've gotten me into

A Duron 900Mhz is capable of close to 1000 blocks a day by itself. I'd set it at about 2K just for that processor. That way, you have a couple days worth in case your connection goes down. If you'd like to fetch or flush in between, you can always do it manually by right-clicking the cow.
