Hi, i was wondering if there is any option that allows a user to only download and run smaller tasks. I ask because previous attempt with a 300+ hours task failed; i know it\'s still useful to the project, and that i still get my credits, but maybe people get more satisfaction out of \"finishing a task\" than from counting credits, or is it just me?... I think other people that would like to help climateprediction end up helping only other projects because they do not want to go through the hassle of of backing up their workunits and so on. Just a thought.

In the climateprediction.net preferences of your account, select UK Met Office HADSM3.
These are the smallest climate models available. Anything smaller would only be weather models.

If you look at the README files linked from my sig below, there are ideas for avoiding failures of models.

My bad, I was actually pretty sure this option was implemented, only i could not find it… now that I was 100% sure i finally managed to find the \"edit preferences\" page. Thanks!
