    I'm not positive but that sounds about right. ATI cards are much faster at Bitcoin mining, which is what the Donate wrapper is doing.

    I tried 2. The last hung, which is an improvement because it usually causes a reboot or blue screen.
    Edit - I actually got through 7 the 8th hung.

    I'm getting work to 6 Box's but the Babysitting is terrible, about 1 out of 3 Wu's will hang & I have to suspend then resume to get the Wu to finish. I'd really like to get to 250 Million at the Project but it'll be slow fer sure ...

    If you use BoincTasks (BT) to manage your boxes then there is a way to make the systems babysit themselves. The only caveat with my solution is that it only works on the local machine. So you have to set this up on each box with BT.

    I set BT to run a batch file from the BT Rules section when a Donate tasks exceeds x amount of time where x is equal to average runtime + 5 minutes.

    Here is a sample of my batch file Donate_Fix.bat Note: Edit directory paths to match location of boinccmd.exe

    Code:
    :@ECHO OFF
    
    CLS
    
    :BEGIN
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ nomorework
    
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ suspend
    
    CHOICE /N /D Y /T 10
    
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ reset
    
    CHOICE /N /D Y /T 15
    
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ resume
    
    CHOICE /N /D Y /T 5
    
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ allowmorework
    
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\BOINC\boinccmd --project http://donateathome.org/ update
    
    :END
    
    Exit
    To create a rule in BT goto main menu and click Extra > BoincTasks Settings. In the pop-up window click the Rules tab.

    Re: Donate@Home Uber Fail

    Okay I'll have to give that a try in a few days, a little to late today to mess with it & I Have to be in the Hospital by 5:30am tomorrow morning for a Kidney Blast lol it's to try & break up a stone that's to big to pass should it start to move. If it isn't one thing it's another, not sure how I'll feel after the Kidney Blast so it may be Tues before I'll try it out, Thanks ...

    Re: Donate@Home Uber Fail

    F$, does the .bat file go in the same Directory where the Projects Directory is or the Directory where the boinccmd.exe is ??? Thanks, gonna give it a try since I don't feel to bad from the Kidney Treatment ...

    Well the registry additions did not fix my Donate hangs either. So I guess I will try your batch file and see what it does, though I did have to change it to "C:\PROGRAM FILES\BOINC". Since that is where My Boinc program was installed.
    BOINC Sees it - BOINC DOES it!

    Hey Ste\/e,

    Glad to hear the blast didn't mess with the rest of you...

    The /bat file can go anywhere you want. I would suggest creating a subfolder in the BOINC directory. This way if you upgrade BOINC, it hopefully won't get deleted. For me, since I use a lot of batch files I just gave them their own root level folder in a different HDD partition so they won't get lost or deleted.

    Just remember to point the BoincTask rule to wherever you end up putting the .bat file
