WU deadlines and stopping download for vacations

[Jack S]

Thanks for the replies to my previous questions.

I just updated to 6.23 and it seems to work much better that the 5.x. Somewhere when I was downloading I saw some thing about deadlines and what happens to WU that aren't returned in time and also how to stop downloads for vacation breaks. I can not now find either. Can someone direct me to those spots or answer the questions?

Thanks again

Use the oneunit flag if you don't want to download a new WU when you've finished the one you're working on - see Wiki page. ThisWiki page explains deadlines and why they exsist. If you overrun the final deadline the WU it is just deleted and you've wasted your time and electricity.

John, thanks for info. WU clear but, how do I use the -oneunit flag? I am using the systray version and don't see any place that allows me to give commands.

Put it in the shortcut you use to start it up.

[k1wi]

in the systray right click on the icon and select 'pause when done'

[kiore]

in the systray right click on the icon and select 'pause when done'

But then it won't send, you can right click the icon> configure>advanced> Additional Client parameters.. put the flag there and restart to take effect.

"Pause when done" as the same effect as -pause flag :

- process the WU
- send it
- pause

Oneunit is a bit different :

- process the WU
- send it
- exit the client
