    I still get occasional hung ones, and it seems they always hang at like midnight and then when I check in the morning, 7 hours later it's wasted my gpu for 7 hours, which sorta sucks. It's not all of them, but definitely more than zero.

    Use BOINCtasks as your manager, rather than the default BOINCmanager. It can be set to deal with those tasks. See here.

    This has probably saved me a couple hundred hours of crunching. And I've only been using it for a month or so. Seriously.

    I'm going to have to give this a try. After Willy's antics, ass kissing of DA and the censorship during the challenges, I'm looking to get rid of Bam and use something else.

    Question: I must have missed something..... What censorship? Which challenge?

    Nice Mike that is the way to go. Freedoom is more important to me than points or crunching. I was using other than BS but mainly FreeDC and had opened a thread of FreeDC millestones on my TeaM.

    So I was very sad with Bok problems, I hope you can solve that as fast as you can because if I have to choose between BS and BS I will be out of Boinc in a flash. Dictactorship is not for me. There is no value above freedoom for me.

    OK, I gave BOICTasks another shot and I must say it works much better than BOINCView. So like now I have a question. Is there a way to control Resource sharing from within BOINCTasks? That is the only reason I still use BAM.

    Hah! That's funny. Resource share is the one thing I *don't* use BAM for. Some of the older BOINC server SW would reset the other settings (like GPU/CPU), when changing the RS. And so often, I am also using alternate locations for specific machines, which you can't do at BAM any way. So for resource share changes, I do it directly at the project.
