i find the machines i have running as a service a real pain to update..

unregister the service-delete files .. reboot... then reset up the client.
if i don't do it that way..
the service won't get restarted or it won't set itself up as a service properly.

is there a faster way? granted they don't phuck things up...
I don't set it up as a service. Just unzip the folder to the desktop and click foldit, type in the info it askes, hit enter, restart the client and it is going. I got all the comps networked so I just copy the original downloaded client to the other comps so I don't have to download more than once from the D.F. server.
There is only like two people running/developing this project and on a limited budget and resources. So far they have kicked the shit out of every other project for uptime. I have crunched all the major projects and this one still runs smoother than the rest except for maybe SETI, but SETI had more problems when it was this early in it's development aswell.
