yes
can you run folding and seti at the same tiome

Dunno. Maybe has to do with the power-saving mode you are in. Can't help with that.

yeah you could even rin 20 folding and 20 seti@home at one time...though I don't recommend it....

was that the first tim it took so long for a few frames?

Assuming they are the big WU's, that works out to roughly 18.4615384615384615384615384615385 per day.

haw do you know if they are big WUs

Look in scrlg.txt for "dynamic steps required". When I say big one, I mean like the _mimic that has 500000. That's worth a 5 in the stats. A small one nowadays would be Alzheimer2 with 200000 steps, worth a 2. I think we may be getting still bigger ones in the future.

Bet that's your ID number.

m4a2t0t · Post by **m4a2t0t** » Sun Jun 24, 2001 5:46 pm

it said 115 frames completed frames remaining 4294967281
dynamic steps requiered 4294967396

That is weird. A WU has 100 steps. It'll probably get sorted out when it's sent to to server.... If it ever gets there.

Why don't you Contr-C and then start f@h again. See what happens.

Second thought.

Presuming you've still got that crazy big number, I think you've been handed a corrupt WU. I've never had one but here's what I've read you should do: Contr-C, delete work.dat and project.dat files. That will dump the bad WU. Restart f@h and it will go get a new one.

You've got another blue star. You should move up on the list pretty fast because there are a lot of slowpokes and non-producers ahead of you.

Honk when you pass me.
