Hello all -
I am new here and hope to be welcome.
Additionally, I have a question using the fixed disc for data:
In my computer an SSD is working as the main program store. Therefore, I don't want to use this as the data store. But I saw that all data which were downloaded went into the SSD. Thus, I stopped the download.
I did not find a possibility to change the fixed disc for the data.
How can I change to another fixed disc?
Regards Udo

Depending on your OS, lets assume Windows, what you do is uninstall BOINC, copy/move the data directory with all it's subs to a new location of choice, run the installer and point it in the advanced option to the new data directory location.
