question about seti@home

[Smokey0066]

i was wondering if there was a required time period a WU has to be sent back in? i'm thinkin about adding s@h to another computer at home that rarely sees the net, maybe once or twice a week. would it be possible to cache 10WUs and just let it run and go online at the end of the week and transmit?

BTW

its a 1gig tb with 512ddr

its used for actual work by my parents and not play so thats why it rarely sees the net. it'd be a nice addition but i'm not sure if its okie with s@h.

please let me know.

If I'm not mistaken (and some good person will tell me if I am ), WU's expire 28 days after being given out.

You can send them in even after 28 days and still get credit. The 28-day expiry is just for their purposes, after that if it hasn't been returned they'll send it out again (it's so all WUs get checked).

yep ,28 days & they get resubmitted

Nice assimilation

Will this system be on 24 hours a day? If so, you're going to need to cache closer to 20-25 to keep it going for a week at a time...
