Time for a new FreeRepublic folding@home thread.
Our FreeRepublic team of 300+ members comprised primarily of Free Republic members in good standing have banded together to donate their excess CPU cycles to a worthy cause. Via distributed computing, millions of computers around the world, contribute directly to scientific research, in the quest for a greater understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, and Mad Cow (BSE).
Currently, the team is in 117th place (with 1,038 active CPUs - 29,000 completed Work Units and more than 5,000,000 points).
This is an entirely voluntary program, and if you want to learn more, please see the links posted below (or read one of the previous 16 folding threads)

I slowed my folding down a little, but I finally got 10,000+ thingies, whatever they are.

Check it again, usually it takes about 30 minutes to an hour for it to run through the estimated timing portion, and then the anticipated end date will reset to something more reasonable.

Hey guys - I've encountered a strange problem with FAH that just manifested itself over the last week. When either of my Windows systems finishes a WU and successfully sends back the results, it then can't get a new WU to process unless I stop the service and then restart it. Then it chugs along fine until it finishes it, sends back the results, and tries to get a new WU - then it repeats the whole process. Here's a glance at the relevant portion of a log showing what happens - it just keeps retrying until I shut it down and restart it:
[00:09:34] - Preparing to get new work unit...
[00:09:34] + Attempting to get work packet
[00:09:34] - Connecting to assignment server
[00:09:35] - Successful: assigned to (171.64.122.136).
[00:09:35] + News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home
[00:09:35] Loaded queue successfully.
[00:09:35] Couldn't send HTTP request to server (wininet)
[00:09:35] + Could not connect to Work Server
[00:09:35] - Error: Attempt #1 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I've encountered a similar anomaly, as well. Mine will hang at attempting to send, then I shut it down and restart it, it sends. It also hangs at retrieving until I shut it down and restart it. Sometimes I need to manually download new projects and that seems to clear it up.
I've been thinking it was a connection issue, since it's on a tablet pc I keep running in my truck using an aircard.
If you figure it out, please let me know, too.
Also, I've got 2 cpu's MIA at home. Wife has rebooted all machines, but it still doesn't appear. Maybe I'll have to go home to find out what's up.
:O)

Any ideas on what's causing this? The one time that happened to me, it was an issue with their server. But it only lasted through the weekend (I guess they fixed it on Monday AM ?).

I'm checking out 2 possible causes of this problem. One may be a registry problem - wrong pointer to a file or bad data. The second may be a corrupt wininet.dll file.
I've used Norton SystemWorks to clean up the registry and am now letting the WU process to completion to see if it will now get a new WU and start working on it.
If that doesn't work, I'll replace the wininet.dll file with a known good one.
I'll post the results in a couple of days after the WU finishes. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
RT
