How much bandwidth is needed for folding? I’m at the end of the line for DSL.

You will need very little bandwidth for folding. Even dial-up would suffice.

Most of my that are systems are folding away are older systems not on DSL. As long as you get on the internet every week or so then you will be fine.

I am about 23,000’ from the CO, and the baby bells would barely install IDSL. In the old days I could get 144k up and down. I ended up switching to an aerial system.

On a related note, we would love to have you join our folding team. We have seen a 50% increase in team folding in just over 3 months, and now rank #52 in the world out of ?? teams.

You can even fold on your PS3!

Your ‘net connection is only utilized to download Work Units, upload completed work, and occasioanlly get a different “core” executable. These are EXE files in the 1.6-2.3MB size range and are the actual engines that process work unit data. Work Units arrive compressed, which helps data transfer when downloading.

Even at the ragged limits of DSL, I’d have no worries about the demands imposed by Folding@Home.

Welcome aboard.
