    9     * Components of application: executables, libraries, etc.
    10     * Data for its own sake, e.g. as part of a distributed storage system.

    1212The BOINC core client transfers files to and from project-operated '''data servers''' using HTTP.
    … …  
    6767BOINC's default behavior is to delete files when they aren't needed any more. Specifically:
    6868
    69     * On the client, input files are deleted when no workunit refers to them, and output files are deleted when no result refers to them. Application-version files are deleted when they are referenced only from superseded application versions.
    70     * On the client, the 'sticky' flag overrides the above mechanisms and suppresses the deletion of the file. The file may be deleted by an explicit [DeleteFile server request]. The file may also be deleted at any time by the core client in order to honor limits on disk-space usage.
    71     * On the server, the [FileDeleter file deleter daemon] deletes input and output files that are no longer needed. This can be suppressed setting the 'no_delete' property on the  file, or using command-line options to the file deleter.
     69 * On the client, input files are deleted when no workunit refers to them,
     70  and output files are deleted when no result refers to them.
     71  Application-version files are deleted when they are referenced only from superseded application versions.
     72 * On the client, the 'sticky' flag overrides the above mechanisms and suppresses the deletion of the file.
     73  The file may be deleted by an explicit [DeleteFile server request].
     74  The file may also be deleted at any time by the core client in order to honor limits on disk-space usage.
     75 * On the server, the [FileDeleter file deleter daemon] deletes input and output files that are no longer needed.
     76  This can be suppressed by setting the 'no_delete' property on the  file,
     77  or using command-line options to the file deleter.
