You just posted a 2001 reprint from a 1997 issue of Nature. Folding@Home isn't mentioned anywhere within the article, and with good reason: It wasn't even around when this was first published. I'm afraid your headline, and your decision to place this in News, are seriously misinformed.

Whoo Hoo... the race to 20,000 is on !!! I will be closest at the 3pm, but alas, it won't be me as I will have nothing else coming in until 3am. Will it be Smith288, stylin19a, or will zeugma make a power move ??? Woo Hoo, GO guys !!!!

I spent last week ordering all the parts for my new "high end" folding computer, and another member of our team has done some serious research into the "Ultimate Folding Rig", and we both hope to have them online by late next week. We won't have the impact of King Dohanger, Malsua, lrenh, or the rest of the big boys, but I hope this will help blow by SISD so bad, they'll wish they were DUmmies !!!! LOL

THANKS to all, from Klutz to Cincy, I proud to be a member of this team !!!

Ther are pros and cons to both the Intel and AMD lines. See http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/

Without getting into a debate like which car is better, Ford or Chevy? My guess is that most "geek" folders go with AMD. Why? Not so much that they are better, but because they tend to be the chip of choice for homebuilders 'cause for the most part they overclock easier and they run a little cooler.

My system has been hung up for several days trying to send a completed WU and get more work.

Connects to the assignment server 171.65.103.158

But fails to up or dwnload new work. Tried to delete the program and download a new client - I'm not doing it right.

Running console mode on XP.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I've seen issues like this before. Usually I have to delete the F@H directory, restart and reinstall.

Sometimes WU are not credited. I usually blame corruption of the work unit, but that is just a guess. I have read that the program searches for all possible combinations for folding, and that sometimes leads to impossible answers.

I'll look over at

http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45

and see if I can find any answers.

Hey guys,  you might be right about corrupt units, but here is some additional info:

From the FAH FAQS section on FAH Client Do's and Don'ts:

"Please don't manually retry to send WUs soon after a netsend failure. The netsend failure means that the server was probably overloaded and retrying will just make things worse."

From the readme.txt file in the directory you installed FAH:

WHAT'S NEW IN 5.00?

- Collection server support. If a client finishes a work unit from
a Work server with this feature enabled, then if 2 upload
attempts to that server fail, the client will return to the
work unit to a Collection server. Pending credit will be given
for the unit, becoming final when the Work server comes back up
and verifies what the Collection server has received. All work
servers will eventually be associated with a Collection server,
and many already are.

Hope this helps:
RT

Did you Uninstall it as follows?

For the Windows GUI version of Folding@Home, if Folding@Home has been installed using the official installer, there will be an "Uninstall" option available in the Folding@Home tab under the start menu. This will completely uninstall the software.
