*** New PS3 client ***
Sony has released an upgraded client for the PS3. Check out Noam Rimon's (he's the lead developer at Sony) post:
Hello,
Starting today a new version of Folding is available. This version is a minor fix to the previous 1.3 version and adds a better tuned algorithm that handles peak performance hours of Folding@home network, by acting differently to certain network errors if those occur.
It is recommended that you update to the new version by quitting the application and restarting it. Your current WU will not be damaged in any way, in-fact Folding will continue from the exact point you have stopped it.
Please also check the official Sony Folding site here: http://www.scei.co.jp/folding/en/update.html
We can already see a stabilized network activity for the last 5 days. With the new update we are certain that the network will continue to be stable for good.
At this point I would like to thank people again for being patient and continue to donate to our project while Stanford & Sony was working on the fix.
Thanks, Noam Sony Development Team
The upgrade should significantly improve the networking performance.
I'll ping the F@H Forum and see why they dropped it.
Probably lost the one guy that really knew OS 9 to graduation.
Thanks. I tried finding it quite a while back, and found a dead link.
It doesn't seem to have anything “Folding” related, but this is the update that brings BluRay Profile 2.0 with BD-LIVE support to your PS3.
Additionally, this update allows play lists created in your PS3’s [Music] and [Photo] sections to be copied and played along with the content they contain to a PSP system (Hand-held PlayStation Portable).
“Resume Play” for BluRay and DVD discs is now enabled for most discs and DivX content that exceeds 2GB can now be played, and subtitles can now be displayed for DivX content.
All reason enough to stop folding for a few minutes and go do a System Software Update... ;-)
Time for a new thread?

Mouser and chris_primavera are on course for a photo-finish in about 24 days.
