Hello,
boinc-manager doesn't respect (since quite some time, sorry to report it only
now) anymore the "Additional work buffer" option. I've set it to '10' days, but
currently I only have the 3 WUs running right now, and nothing more. once one is
finished, then eventualyl others are downloaded, but just to fulfill the
immediate need of computation, no additional buffer is filled.

This is an important feature, in particular because several machines might not
have a constant connection, so being able to buffer some WUs is vital.

Regards,
Sandro

It's a long time since this was logged. Is this fixed for you in a newer
version? It seems to work fine here on the 7.x branch.

It would be the boinc-client that is seeing the problem rather than
boinc-manager.
