Download result-files for offline-processing?

The important files in general are the *.xml files in the BOINC directory, the projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu and the slots subdirectories. Most of the files in the project directory are static, "sticky" data files that almost never change and thus only need to be transfered once. In particular this applies to the App executable, "sun", "earth" and the 11MB detector data file. Look at the timestamps to see which files need to be updated. And yes, make sure you shut down BOINC before playing with the files.

I suggest that you set up a separate BOINC directory on the internet machine for every off-line machine you want to run and learn how to use the command-line version of the client boinc_cli.exe which should keep its files in the directory where it's run in.

The server should only accept a Result from the machine it sent it to. However it doesn't care about where the calculation is actually done. But he will, of course, identify them with the benchmarks of the machine he contacted, while the cpu time is counted on the calculating machine. So don't be surprised if the claimed credit is way off in either direction.

Let us know whether it works.
