this proberly doesnt need its own thread but hey, its fridaynight and im bored :o

Started folding to help you guys out lol!
I followed the quick set-up guide and at the moment i have just have a dos screen that says "0 out of 20000000 steps"

it has been on this screen for ages. Is this normal?
 
Sounds about right, you could try setting it up as a service, that way you dont get the DOS window and then use FAHmon to monitor its progress...

As for 0 out of 2000000000000, it totally depends on your system how long it takes to do a frame, anything between 2mins and 30mins depending on machine and WU.
 
Yes. It'll only change either when it completes 1% of the steps or when a timered checkpoint is triggered. If you get one of the 2124 or 2126 projects it can take the best part of an hour to do 1%. Download FAHMon or EMIII as they'll give you some idea of the time remaining.

Yeh i have fahmon 2.1.5 but it just shows blank, as in core/project/credit/username etc are all blank, as if it isnt picking up the folding?
 
thanks.

If you follow the guide it should be working as a service so go to services.msc and stop it then close dos and start it again. Should leave you with just lovely background folding :)

As for the FAHmon problem, click FAHmon and then select Download New Projects. That should get you all the info.

Nice to have you on the team :cool:

:EDIT: Ah I got the wrong end of the stick with the problem, looks like you're sorted :)

Yep just wait :p

Bring up the log with F8, as that can be handy if you're having any problems.


That work unit takes aages per frame on my cpu (3000+), about 45mins!

Look at it again in an hour :)

The status (unknown state) is unlikely to change for at least an hour's worth of continuous folding of the WU. Give it time ;)
 
oooh I'd not noticed we're up to v2.1.5 of FahMon now - I see it's added in the username, will have a looky see what else there is new :)


welcome to the team - shame you started on that Work Unit as they are horrible and slow :o
 
ah so im guessing WU = works unit, a selection of cycles that it does?

Any chance to skip this, i hopefully will have joined the RAF by april and it wont even have finished by then lol :o


im still getting this

from fahmon
 
Unfortunatly that WU on my 3200+ ClawHammer is estimating over 4 days. Less than 100 ppd :(

So whatever you do you've got pretty long wait lol hopefully after this WU you'll get something different if not just keep at it :)
 
FahMon needs two complete frames before it can give an ETA - don't worry it will be complete long before you have to join the RAF

To avoid getting another one afterwards you should add the -advmethods flag or change the config so advmethods is used as default - that should get you some much nicer WUs
