Ultimate Guide To Folding@home

a tip here for anyone going to download a batch of timeless F@h tinker units. make sure you remove the -advmethods switch from the client when your run it to get the wu's or you will get a batch of the same WU, which are all the same, so will only get the credit for one.
 
Just got my first 2500 part WU. My other 4 up until now have been 500 parts, so this one is gonna take a long, long time...

Just out of interest, how long (on average) does it take you chaps to complete a 500 part WU, and what CPU have you got? :unsure:

Hey, gimme a link where to DL FAHcore_78.exe
Cant seem to find it.
All this tech talk and no links.

Im on the team, i think, atleast im trying...

:cool2:
 
A WU is a work Unit. You have a tinker work unit and it will take you up to 4 days to complete. After you have completed it, it will be uploaded to the server and after a short time your name will appear among the team members names on the team page here http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py...e&teamnum=34905 Your score will be added to the team's score. Each work unit that you complete will be added to your name. Please read the guide at the beginning of this thread for more information... oh and welcome and thanks for joining our team!!! :)
 
btw i noe y bigdawgfox has so many WUs he went to his school...and borged LOTS of computer....

tht lucky guy has like P4s 1.7ghz at his school mine has P2 233mhz... ;)

damn borger....

its very easy to borg its like a .bat file and u just run the bat file and the cmd windows pops up does everything and the FAH starts up....the person wont even know tht u hav it running (runs with services)

theres a .cfg file as well which u config and put ur username and team number B)

one clickers:
Win XP, and WIN 2k
Windows 9x

get permission b4 u start putting this on floppys and going and putting em all over ur school or workplace u could get suspended/fireD! :ph34r:

hav fun borging

remember to edit the .cfg file
and put my name in it :ph34r: :lol: j/k
 
I'm back on with a much faster computer. As soon as i can get my old one back up I will have them both going:)

But I cannot seem to get this new comp to use it's full resources. It has a 3.2ghz processor and 1 gig ram but it will not go any higher then 50% of it. Any ideas of how to get it to use more? I even lowered it, restarted then raised it back to high and restarted again with no luck.

Also I read on page 28 about making F@H a process, would this work to spike public computers to run this application automatically on windows start? I've got access to at least 10 computers that run non stop, with little to no process power used for 90% of the time. I doubt the owners would submit to this willingly, so I'd just spike them to run as a process that runs in the backroung without making itself known... What better way to put all that processing power to work than to use it for such a great cause!

Don't do it. It's never a good enough cause to steal someone elses CPU power. It's a good enough cause to keep this honest.
 
Well i completed my 50th WU and meanwhile my modem resets...
Everytime i start Folding@Home and click the icon to see the animation it crashes.

And i mean every time. I'm using the latest Fah for about a week orso and never had any problems. It runs but i just can't click the icon anymore...

Any suggestions?

:(

we should do 2 things...

1. make a thread on lounge linking here and tell them to join
2. make a thread in everything related to board about the link beside the post count..
