If the existing 'communications deferred' facility could be extended to allow the user to defer communications themselves for a period of time, that would be sufficient.  \r\n\r\n   Perhaps the facility should take into account the deadlines of any work units in progress.\r\n\r\n   This request is prompted by the recent server-out-of-space problems at CPDN which are causing problems for multiproject users on dial up networks (there have also been other ideas suggested to handle the same problem).\r\n\r\n-Cheers,\r\n\r\nMike\n\nMigrated-From: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/139"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/comments/72807923","html_url":"https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/139#issuecomment-72807923","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/139","id":72807923,"user":{"login":"romw","id":985772,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/985772?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw","html_url":"https://github.com/romw","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-04T08:20:42Z","updated_at":"2015-02-04T08:20:42Z","body":"**Commented by mo.v on 4 Oct 39429892 16:53 UTC**\nI think such a facility would be worth the trouble and not just for members of CPDN. The disk of the CPDN server that takes file uploads has filled up more than once and I would be surprised if this has never occurred on any other project. File upload servers of course also occasionally crash or fail. \r\n\r\nWhen this has happened we have advised members to either suspend BOINC network activity altogether or suspend tasks before they complete. Not all members read this advice and some do not realise in time. They can find themselves with partially-uploaded files which I consider to be in a fragile state. Such files can be the end result of long periods of processing. \r\n\r\nIf members in this position urgently need to fetch work to keep the computer busy, the only possibilities at the moment are to either suspend network activity altogether letting at least part of the computer's processing capability run idle, or to allow BOINC network activity and put partially-uploaded files at greater risk. \r\n\r\nNow that CUDA devices and multi-core computers are increasingly common, requiring large amounts of work to keep all cores busy, I consider MikeMarsUK's proposal even more desirable than it was two years ago.\r\n\r\nI am therefore taking the liberty of reopening this ticket in the hope that Mike's proposal will be reconsidered.
