Today's news is brought to you by the websites All Project Stats, BOINCstats and Team Starfire World BOINC Stats ‘N Stones.


Everything seems to be getting back to normal at last, although some of the stats above are a day old.

As ever, a warm welcome to our newest members! And as always, a big congrats to all the tiffy winners! Don't forget to get 'em out, and if I’ve missed anyone then just give me a prod.
 
A word of warning about Astropulse WUs
These tend to take quite a while to complete! One of them took 4.5 days on my P4, with the other one on there looking like it'll take a similar amount of time. If you don't want to download Astropulse WUs, you need to uncheck the Astropulse application under the SETI@home preferences in your account. Those using the optimised apps won't need to do this, as Astropulse WUs will not be downloaded. (The only reason I managed to get Astropulse running alongside the optimised apps is by using a modified app_info.xml file and manually downloading the relevant files).
 
Thanks for the news TT :)

I'm going to try an Astropulse WU this week to see how it does.

EDIT: Tross, have you got the modified app_info.xml file? Also what files do I need to manually download?

Cheers for the news TT - good to see things getting back to normal. Hopefully we can get back to the stomp chase soon.

Is it worth doing the astropulse units, do they give more credit?

They give more credit in absolute terms - I got granted 715 cobblies for one. However, they don't give more credit in relative terms - apparently you can lose around 2/3 of your RAC from crunching AP WUs alongside standard ones.

As for whether they're worth doing, that's entirely up to you. They provide more science, but if you're a credits junkie then I'd steer clear for now. They also take a long time compared to standard WUs: in my case more than four days, compared to a maximum of 3.5 hours for the standard WUs. YMMV depending on what system you have, but I've undone the mods so I don't get any more AP WUs; they just take too long.
 
Thanks for the news TT.
Having upgraded to the latest BOINC was looking at SETI preferences where you can choose whether you want astropulse WU's:)
I hop they've stopped sending out the 15-16 pointers.
