Ive just setup climate predictor but for some reason it is downloading massive workload units that will take me over 1000 hours to process!

Ive changed the contact value in prefs to 0.1 but dont know what else to change to reduce the size of the workunits, anyone have any ideas?

You can't change the size of the work units. I have a PowerBook 1 GHz G4 that takes around 3 months or so to do each CPDN work unit. The contact value in the prefs is really only meaningful if you also are running SETI, Einstein, Predictor, or one of the other clients that have a deadline time of a week or two, and the average WU takes from a couple hours to maybe a day.
