With the server disk space problem is there anyway to get around the limitation on tasks that cane be performed? I get the "This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress" error since my other WU's are waiting to upload. I did a search but didn't find anything.

Is the alternative to currently not get anymore WU's and wait until the problem is fixed?

Thanks!

No. It's part of their strategy for trying to get all results returned quickly - all decisions are made by the server.

(It would help if they expanded their administration team)

Thanks, Richard!
Well looks like PrimeGrid is going to get some GPU WU's done in the meantime.

Same deadlock for me!
Waiting for someone to clean out the server's disk...

you can do it by running multiple clients. just spin up a new BOINC instance that looks like a new host (with a new/different hostid) and download more. this comes at the expense of having to manage multiple clients.

otherwise you have to modify the BOINC client code to do it. the BOINC scheduler doesnt reference the database to see how many tasks you have, it just trust what the host tells it.
