Internet Access Is Intermittent

I don't have internet access to the computer 24/7.

So sometimes when it finished a job: 1. It can't send in the results and 2. It can't download then next job.

Is there a way to download multiple work jobs when it does have internet access so it has additional work to do if it finds itself without internet access later on?

Thanks in advance.
Jack

To give a bit of context on why there is no way to build up a local queue: jobs in F@h are generated on servers based on results from previous jobs. So, one long simulation is divided into smaller sub tasks, each continuing where the previous left off. If you would build a local queue, you would 'lock' each of those jobs/simulations until the jobs would be timed out and redistributed.

To encourage people to return job results quickly, so that new ones can be generated, F@h has a quick return bonus. The faster you return the results the more points you get.
