ibiris's system
I've just setup my PC to run two instances of the console version, all the config and setup went okay. But once loaded, it gets to the bit saying "Completed 0 of 5000000 steps" and does nothing. I've sat here for 10 minutes waiting for it to change and it hasn't.

I moved to the console version from the GUI version to see if there was a difference. Becuase, when I first used the GUI version, the first 2 work units were done within a few hours. But now, it downloads work units that are estimated to take days, if not weeks!!! This isn't ideal as I would like to contribute, but can't leave the computer on 24/7 365.

I use the Ps3 for folding and that only ever seems to download work that takes no more than 8 hours to complete, so how come I can't get my pc to do this?
The only setting I could think of that could make a difference was the 'download WU bigger than 5mb', which is set to 'no'.

Any help appreciated
