[also posted at WCG and BOINCstats]I just signed up for WCG and when I tried to get work, I recieved the following error message:

Why does WCG need 17.573 GB of disk space?!? that would take forever on my dialup connection...

I have about 2.5 GB available HD on my iMac G4, MacOS 10.4.8, 700 MHz, 1 GB RAM running BOINC 5.4.9

My other projects d/l and crunch just fine with no complaints about disk space - Rosetta, Einstein, SETI

My WCG space is currently at 34MB. Not as large as some, but bigger than most. Certainly not in the GB range though. Only the climates and Simap have managed to pull that one off on my systems.

Solved!

WCG did not accept prefs from BAM! so I had to manually set prefs at WCG site. They thought my host was using the default General prefs of "leave at least 20 GB free" and I only had 2.5 GB free, hence the needed 17.5 GB additional needed space. (WCG thread)

Thanks!
