Seriously guys, Ask before installing the client on school/business systems. You have no idea how harsh the penalties have become for tampering with a secure network. Many non profit organizations will let you have the use of some systems so long as you ask first and show your ability to manage it. There are even a few companies that will give you some cycles if you ask.

Absolutely, listen to the Big Man; ask permission first. The end does not justify the means. We're doing so well already we don't need any dishonor brought to our Team or the project itself.

I had a 2500 that got a summing error at 90% done. I lost almost 2 days worth of calculations. That one has hurt my avarage.

You know I've dropped two WU's before they were complete and in both cases I did at least get partial credit. That is I was 84% done with a 53 pointer and I got an early end unit and I still was credited 45 points.

I don't remember the exact points that I had prior to the dropped WU. But if I got any points it didn't account for about 2 days of work.

that happened to me, too -- some sort of client core error, it said, and it dumped the whole thing in the 90% range. :mad:

i'm thinking about trying to write a script or linux cron job that will save all the work every hour. then if there's any program lock up or crash again, at least the most that would be lost would be an hour's worth of work. in windows, setting up an auto backup of the needed files to run every hour would probably do the trick.

the problem is, if a new work unit was downloaded and started (as it was for me), the new saves would overwrite the old WU. so i'd like to figure out how to get around that somehow -- will have to study cron or something -- because it really sucked to lose close to 10hrs. of work!

I wonder if I was to set a system restore if it would work that way too. So if I installed something and it interfered with the WU or if my computer froze up again, it would at lease save some of the work.

I did a little tweaking and tuning. Added the tags to the exe as needed. Seems to be showing results already. Last 12 hours has turned in what I was doing in 24.

So basically you've been under-performing the first three weeks https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2003/11/8.gif

Guilty as charged! What can I say, I was setting a pace for a long run.
