Ive been having a lot of DT with these SMP clients, what with 1hr long waits at the end of every WU and even a day or so idle with no Wus... :(

Also Apple not releasing the 8-core Macpro is starting to annoy me... not that I can afford it ATM what with buying a car...

hehe the downtimes not an excuse! my core2s are suffering from that as well (along with all the other errors after wu finishes etc!)
you're just SLACKING!
 
-oneunit flag on the winSMP for the win \o/
removes all the hassel, just need to setup a shortcut and remember so start a new one when previous is finished.

or if running the Linux SMP, have a normal client taking up the 5-12% slack and any down time when uploading/download new WU's :D (extra 50ppd on the rubish 212*'s but every little helps)

or run two linux smps if your chip is fast enough (aka 3.2+) and you have the ram :eek:

Wait a sec, why? To get rid of the downtime after finishing a unit?

I'm new :p

No, to stop it crashing or refusing to download a new WU for 1-12hours
Ok if you don't/can't manually restart it you got downtime anyway (just without the messing around or endtasking the various exe files)

You could make a little batch file that does all that for you, you just need a simple loop that restarts once the client has finished.

Paste this into a file called loopingfah.bat (alter client location as appropriate)

Code: 
@echo off
echo Starting FAH for the first time
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home Windows SMP Client V1.01\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
:restart
echo.
echo Restarting FAH
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home Windows SMP Client V1.01\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
goto restart

Edited to use default location for the Windows SMP client.

That's why I said edit as appropriate. ;)

It works perfectly if you get the location right.

Edit: The default location for the Windows SMP client is : C:\Program Files\Folding@Home Windows SMP Client V1.01

I'll edit the code above to reflect this.
