I have almost 600 hours in on this WU, with another 180 to go (about). I've heard of a lot of problems with upgrading to a newer version of CP mid-way thru a WU, so I'm going to wait until this run is complete before getting the next version.

For the big question: Is there any way to stop CP from getting another unit after this one has finished, or delaying the "get" until I've had a chance to get ver 4.13 downloaded?

Thanks in advance!

I wrote a little bit about this in another thread.
Have a look here: <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=1282#6212">Decommissioning a machine</a>

If anything is not clear, feel free to post your queries.

I've recently upgraded three systems (XP Home, XP Pro &amp; Windows 2000) to 4.13, mid-run with no problems. Simply suspend and exit BOINC, install the upgrade and restart. BOINC will report the software upgrade, run the benchmarks and restart.

&gt; The only way I've heard to do this is to go into your preferences and lower
&gt; the disk limits in General Preferences, something like "Use no more than 100
&gt; MB". Then CPDN shouldn't download a new model. Of course if you are running
&gt; other projects as well, this would affect those too.
&gt;
&gt; Personally, I upgraded to 4.13 on two PCs in the middle of runs without
&gt; problems. I just suspended and Exited BOINC before upgrading. What version
&gt; are you running?
&gt;

I have Boinc 4.09 and hadsm3 4.04. I think later today I'm try the backup and download of the new data. Hopefully it will work. I'll post a response later with the results.

Thanks everyone!

Finally did the upgrade after a back-up this morning. Unlike last time, everything is working fine. Get a new WU for SETI as well, so I'm back in business!
