We're pulling on the [H]OCP guys. We were 45, now we're 41. They only have 600,000 or so more than we do. COME ON TEAM, WE CAN WIN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!! Oh wait, I mean the Distributed Folding thing, not the Special Olympics... Heh

Thats some weird stuff there santanicoo. I just put the distributed folding file on my desktop, open it, and click on the foldtrajlite icon. Never seen anything like that before. :confused:

satanicoo 06-28-2003 01:06 PM

well, it is working on my XP1700++ @ 2180 mhz.

If someone can figure it out, ill add my p4 2.4 @ 3.2 ;)

Looks like it was trying to run the benchmark instead of the actual client? Try completely uninstalling it and redownload it?

Phant0m51 06-28-2003 09:21 PM

We're still gaining on the [H]OCP guys. We're only 5.8 million away now. We can do this, I'm going to be adding an XP 1800+ to our group in a few hours. Hopefully it'll help a little bit.

Correction, we are 580,000 away, not 5.8mill. ;)

I just added a XP1600@1600mhz. Brought back a Abit KT7A and a power supply from the dead so I am not to sure how long they will last, but it is crunching away....

I have a couple questions I hope someone can help with.

I downloaded the program 2 days ago, still shows my system not contributing anything. What's up with that? I have had the system on and connected almost the whole time, 70% of which it should have been doing nothing else.

Glad to see ProCooling doing well, team is now #40. 523,000 behind [H] who are now #35.

Is there a list showing ALL teams and their standings, or do you have to look them up individually?


Thanks for any info in advance.

Is the cleint actually working? In other words is there a load on the CPU? If it is are you connected to net all the time? If you selected "do not connect to the internet" then it will not connect without you manually uploading.

You can also load up DF GUI and see the progress being done. http://gilchrist.ca/jeff/dfGUI/

And here is the All teams page stats: http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-b...ender-teams.pl

Blackeagle 06-29-2003 11:44 AM

Nope, it's not working,

Only thing I configured differant from default settings was the RAM use, I changed that to the 150mg. setting.

I'm going to dump it and start over.

Blackeagle 06-29-2003 11:53 AM

Jaydee,

Is this why so many of ProCoolings team members don't show any stats??

Only 18 of 60+ are shown as active members!

Have to go now, but leaving system redownloading the program.

Put the distributed folding folder from the zip on your desktop, open it and just click on the foldit icon. After that it will go through the setup steps and then ask you to hit enter. After hitting enter you need to CLOSE the program and then restart it using the foldit icon. Should start right up.

No, that is because the stats reset with Phase 2. The inactive members are simply not crunching anymore.

Phant0m51 06-29-2003 01:02 PM

If you edit the Foldit.bat, look at the line that says:

Quote:

.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native
make it look like this:
Quote:

.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -rt -qt
I have 1 computer that says it like this though:
Quote:

.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -rt -qt -it
So go ahead and try either one of those.

*CAUTION* the -qt makes it go into 'quiet' mode. Which shows nothing on screen. There's the window and a flashing cursor, that's OK. The colorful symbols and such can take up to as much as 20% of your processing power. Keep it in quiet mode for best performance.

*SIDE NOTE* We're only 500,000 away from [H]OCP now. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Blackeagle 06-29-2003 02:54 PM

OK guys here's where I'm at for the moment. I downloaded the screen saver version, and it is working.

As I understand it though it only will run if my system is idle, correct?

Yeah.

Blackeagle 06-29-2003 10:28 PM

Well that is a interesting screen saver. I was a bit unhappy with not having any results so went for the differant one.

I now have it working on the text program.



I hope.:shrug:

Check your CPU usage and make sure it is 100%. If it is it's going. Don't be to suprized if the client gets "stuck" for several hours. I just had one comp stuck most of the day on one step. It is common and is supposed to happen.

satanicoo 06-30-2003 10:06 AM

Sudently the prog started working on my P4! Magic....

Added a P4 @ 3.2 GHZ.

jaydee 06-30-2003 10:52 AM

I been getting hammered with these "stuck" steps. I got 2 comps on one step for the last 6hrs. After I added my 3rd comp my results returned have DROPPED 35%. :mad: Oh well, still in second place for the time being....:D

Phant0m51 06-30-2003 01:48 PM

Ok, I'm trying to talk my brother into letting me put it on his computer. It's an AMD XP 1600+. I did, however, set it up at my client computer at work. We're shut down this week, so it won't do us any good for now. But come next monday, we'll have an extra 700 Duron helping out.

sevisehda 07-15-2003 02:22 PM

Is there a way to not have the foldit tab at the bottom of my screen?

Phant0m51 07-15-2003 03:15 PM

You can run the folding client as a Service in Win 2000/Win XP. Do you have either of those?

Boli 07-15-2003 03:52 PM

A service runs completly hidden and I doubt most people would even know it was there.

So you could sneak onto your grannie's 333 and install the pakage and leave and she'll be none the wiser :D... though of course it'll only work if she is connected to the net all the time.

OK that may seem a bit far fetched but replace the word Grannie's with wife's and you may have a winner.

sevisehda 07-15-2003 04:15 PM

The service will run whenever the comp is on though right? I'd rather have some control like when I'm benchmarking or fixing some problem. I guess I can just deal with it though.

Does the text based graphics really chew up that much power or could I leave that running to see what gen I'm on?
