Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
Our FreeRepublic team of 358 members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).
Currently, the team is in 75th place (with 1009 active CPUs - 55,700 completed Work Units and 9.75 million points).
This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 20 folding threads)
I'm getting closer to the top 100 every week!
Eventually I am going to bring that third machine back up and running.
I'm using the GUI... it's been rock solid since March or so when I got the new machine... the last few weeks it just refuses to dowload a new WU. It sends the results in just fine... then gets stuck on downloading new work.
I can ping the IP address of the server, Stanford's stats say the sever is working fine... but day after day my laptop keeps saying that it cannot download a WU.
If there's some evidence that the service works better I might switch, but would prefer not to.
Still in the 50's here although my production has dropped dramatically. With thunderstorms my chief computer has been off a lot, now we have a heat wave so I'm shutting it off to save electricity and prevent overheating (AC at 80 likewise to save electricity!), and for some reason the people at work keep rebooting the computer there and it doesn't restart the program, so that's lagging too. I should go set that up to restart on reboot as well.
Same here, locks up after each WU and won't resume.
Plus, the lap top runs so hot, afraid of burning it out...
So, I'm off for a while.
I run a cooling fan under my laptop. They are fairly inexpensive, I think I spent about $20 on the one I have. Hooks up through the USB port. My system seems to love it.
I know what you mean about running hot... I throttled the CPU usage down a bit and the temp seems to be normal.
What's strange is all the other places I go to via the wireless access work just fine... the darn thing just won't download a new WU during the last two weeks.
Occasionally, I'll have this problem with one of my machines. I delete the client.cfg file, and reconfigure the application, and everything runs great.
I suspect it refreshes the FAH server-of-choice that it pulls new projects from, goes to a different one, and works thereafter.
Take that tasmania!

Laundry bump!

bump to home pc
I got the new box yesterday and I would have completed a WU by now if the #@$*& power co would stop turning the %$#&* power on and off!
I am somewhat annoyed.....
Thanks for starting the new thread.
I've been really busy the last few days.
Been there, done that. On restart it gets assigned the same IP address to download a WU. I can ping it, and Stanford says it's running fine, but no go on the download.
BTTT
Do you have it set to get deadlineless WUs? If so they have run out of those. I had this problem a week ago. Setting the client to get any units fixed it.
Excellent suggestion... I am now folding away on the laptop again. How did you discover that Stanford was out of Deadlineless WUs?
Many thanks.
It was mentioned on their forums.
