ok i have jumped on the folding wagon and my BF will join me as soon as his new rig is built (darn i cant borg him) and i have a ton of questions.

once i get it running, does it just run and i do nothing or is there something i have to do? im on my first WU and it at 750/5000.

that sounds so wrong, and so right. all at the same time.
:p

Pretty much just let it sit and run, like I said before you can use EM3 to keep an eye on it

other then that there are other tweaks that you can use on it (such as setting it up as a service, or what type of work units you prefer to get). But thats pretty much it, its very simple :)
 
I know it's probably copyrighted but I tell my friends that folding is a "set it and forget it" project. Once it's going and has a live internet connection it will turn in and get work units all on it's own.

Only action required on your part is recruiting more people to fold.

Hope that helps.

that does. i just wish i got a referral fee. that is always nice. but convincing my mom to run her puter 24/7 is gonna be like tryin to get into heaven as a mass murderer.

if i had of known about this sooner, i would have borged my work computers.
 
Well if you can't convincer her of keeping it on 24/7, in the options for the setup, you can tell it to only work on units without deadlines. That way when its on, it will fold, but you wont just have science hanging out there than Stanford is waiting for.

 
if the machine is turned off often you might want to set the client to save like every 5 minutes so that it doesn't loose much work when it's shut down. The default save time is 15 minutes. But saving often can slow down work a little. Just a thought.

Just a heads up for ya (I'm a noob myself so no worries) the img link you have in your autosig is no good. We can't have image links in there... but there is some FAQ around somewhere so you can quickly paste things like this into every message!

The client will continue to run, but it needs the internet connection to turn in finished WU's and get new work.
 
thats why i stick with wires :)

and have a backup router, and will be buying a couple more switches soon, and more cables.. and..

There is no power struggle between my wife and I. She has all the power and I know it... :rolleyes:

But to be real, it is much easier for us to along because we are both real easy going. :)
