Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 31st May 2007

I had the second C2D here at work trying all night to get new WU's - restarted the service this morning and it got two first time :rolleyes:

@Rich - SMP is back up and running (well was when I left home this morning)
I think it's an over heat problem on the chipset as the bedroom is in the mid 30's from late lunchtime with all the windows closed due to hayfever :eek: . I'm going to knock the OC back to 2.4 ish durring the day to see if that helps but I need to make sure I hit the deadlines....

*thinks worst case*
office [email protected] takes 61h - 2.5day but on 24/7 (2610)
Home [email protected] takes 30h - 2 days as 16/7 (2608)
Home [email protected] takes 45ish - 3 days as 16/7 (2608)

Doesn't leave me much room if it does a restart one lunchtime.
Might try aiming a fan at the Abit Silent OTES™2 see if that helps.

Ocassionally it takes 11 hours and about 30 retries to get the next set of work. Is this normal ?

Well, it's not normal, but occasionally they have server troubles which can cause delays, next time it happens check the server status, there is a page for that at FaH.

/me looks around for people waiting for the news :o :p


don't worry people - it will be coming, not for a good hour or so though due to the wrong kind of snow/leaves on the track/signal work at Clapham Junction/Rich being in general demand every time he comes home (delete as appropriate) so if you're waiting up for it don't wait up too late ;)

The most common cause of the (wininet) error seems to be if the "USE IE SETTINGS" setting is set to "YES" in the client config.

There are quite a few posts on the Folding-Community forum with same problem and changing the setting to "NO" seems to fix it.

See here
 
the servers are REALLY busy.

171.65.103.100 is showing a net load of 222 (85 is considered high :eek: )
171.64.122.136 is showing a net load of 60 - so try resending.

Stop client (or stop service)
make shortcut to .exe
rightclick shortcut - select properties
add -send all after the path (in the target box)
apply and close
double click shortcut.
Fahcore will now run and try 3 times to upload the wu's. It will then close itself
run client (or restart service)
rename shortcut to send all and keep it for the next time ;)
