Oh gawd. I left it running in my office over the weekend. That P3-450 is long in the tooth. . 70 hours to do a unit? Eeeek!
Ok, how is this thing adding up the total results?
The site shows us with 6202 results received. But I added up the everyones totals and got 11243.
What gives?
**MEBuckner **, can you try and refreshing the page and try and regenerate the results?
(I did this with the other guys group and their total is still 44996. We are catching up!)
Also, they have 21 active users with an average time of 18 hours per unit.
We have 27 active users, but our average time per unit is 28 hours.
Just FYI. 
Hmmm…I did the “Edit this Group” thing, and it didn’t really change the totals. I agree with your math though–it would appear we’ve already shattered brachyrhynchos’s “10,000 units by the end of the year” challenge.
I just read someone on their message boards saying new members of the group aren’t properly credited until a week later, but I don’t know how authoritative (or “true”) that statement is–it does look to me as if it’s all the old units racked up by our two new guys that aren’t being credited properly. Possibly this will work itself out in a few days–I’ll keep checking on it.
hey hey…
ok, i’m running this on three machines now, t p3 733’s and one huige rockin’ 166 (my win 2000 web/coldfusion server). lol
I’m gonna try to get it on another machine sometime this week, depends on when it’s gonna be ready.
Don’t use the screensaver…it takes FOREVER. If you do use the screen saver, set it to go to black after a few minutes…it’ll cut processing time in half. I use the WinNT command line client on WinXP, with SETI Driver to cache work units (so I don’t need to do much). With that setup, I was taking about 14 hours per unit on my old PII-350. A PIII - 450 should do one in around 11 hours. My AthlonXP 1900+ takes about 3 hours and 50 minutes to do a unit.

Ok, you persuaded me. I’m staying with the old team. Besides, I have the new computer up and running after some amount of grief. I really cannot wait to see what this baby can do!
Well, I’m back in (at #5!
)
Downloaded the commandline executable. Thanks for the tip!
Here is another question though: Would there be any benefit to saving the client to a few different directories and running them each in their own DOS session at the same time? Or would that just make them all run too slowly?
I did not have to wait long! Eight hours! From just under thiry-one hours on my old machine to eight on the new. Life is good!
All I need to do is jockey Windows XP to connect auto-magically and I will really be in business. Does anyone have any hints or tips? I am new to XP so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[sub]Eight hours! hee hee hee. From five units a week to over twenty! I’m giddy with excitement![/sub]
well I’m in the group now but I couldn’t bring over my work units!! argggh. so I’ll start again.
Hope it helps the cause!
It still hasn’t updated out total score yet… Hmmmm…
“our” even…
I’m in.
I’ve been runnig SETI@home since, man and boy, waaay back in November 2002. 
I’m still on my first unit.
I heard about it years ago, but thanks go to LeeJam for reminding me to finally sign up.
Woo hoo!!
Finally updated!!!
12212 baby!
Thanks to my tireless leadership, our totals have finally updated.
(Huh. I wonder why the totals finally updated?)
Hah! Heretical alt.fan.cecil-adams splittist! The tireless Adamsist-Zottiist toilers of the SDMB have easily surpassed your quota, with two months left in this year!
I just brought my paltry 631 WU’s to the team.
(frightneningly, making me the 6th highest on the list - I usually tend to shy away from that much limelight…)
BTW - does anyone know the answer to this?
Well, I ran this prog when it first came out for a LONG time. Then, I decided to begin the quest for the perfect computer. Of course, I screwed everything up for months on end and forgot all about it.
Welp, here are my (very) few units to add to the total. I seem to be completeing them about once a day or so. Hopefully this helps.
If the Program is using spare CPU cycles then it would be pointless to have 2 sessions running at once. as your computational power is effectively halved for each of the processes.
so the answer is run only one.
