    Re: The Top 200 Approaches.

    my main box is off again unfortunately as the smp client refuses to upload finished WU's . might get it going with 2x of the standard client but that will hurt my ppd a lot

    wish they would hurry up with the new GPU client the bunch of useless hacks

    Sometimes the FAH client is just awful, it lost about 20 CPU days by falling over on thursday, for no apparent reason. Just couldn't connect to the server..... Everything else on the box had net access.

    nope, it needed a kick.

    ('kick' is a cmd line tool of mine for bouncing a proccess, passing it exactly the same arguments and working path as before).

    I had that problem on Friday - but it downloaded a new WU anyway and eventually uploaded the previous results 24 hours later.

    Re: The Top 200 Approaches.

    thats what mine "seemed" to be doing. couldn't upload Thursday, Friday, Sat, in the meantime it started on the next one. only for it to dump that new one half way through whilst telling me that the first had now expired and was deleted as well.. strangely iv been credited for the completed WU so i could in theory just delete all the WU data after they complete and start a new one. but they would never receive any data from me and that would be daft

    edit: that comp was left on 24/7 for the 3 days as well, and was trying to upload frequently. i actually caught it not doing anyhting with the 2nd WU at one point after a failed upload so that was a night of folding wasted while it just sat there

    I would too if it didn't seem to be down to update every time I checked it. 206, 205, who cares? Either way we're a gnats chuff away from the Top 200.

    Except the FAH stats lump all the unafiliated folders together in one vitual team (at number one) and also that starnge Google team at 2 (not sure whether that is just the Google farm folding in unison or a real Google team - I suspect the former).

    I think the EOC site discounts those and gives true team posittions - which makes Hexus 201 today while the FAH stats have Hexus at 203.

    The Google team members come from the Google Toolbar, there used to be a client bundled in with it a while back.

    Re: The Top 200 Approaches.

    I'm cutting back my production for a while.

    Figure I should give my laptop a bit of a rest for a while. Also fed up of the noise the fan makes in it

    Re: The Top 200 Approaches.

    With normal day to day stuff, my laptop is silent, with F@H it isn't, so i killed the client last night.

    My HTPC is on all the time, so F@H runs all the time on that.
