If I were to adjust my preferences down for a 4 or 6 hour target to completion per work unit would I be able to keep my 4 week deadline? One of my machines is not operating very often and one work unit just missed the deadline. This, however, was a 1 week deadline work unit though. Thanks.

It's my understanding that the deadlines are independent of the run time chosen by the user. They are set by the project.

This is correct. They are independant. But you should be aware that if you downlaod a lot of WUs and adjust the time up you can prevent the system from completing all the work in time as well. It works both ways.

Just thought I would mention (and I only just found out) that a version of XIP is already available for BOINC application developers to use
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/boinc_zip.txt

So it should be sat there looking at them. So that's how CPDN do it :-)
