Wooh. New member. Yay!

Just thought I'd bring this to everyone's attention: our team's rank is dropping. We aren't going up (improving) anymore. We should get more members helping out. Right now I'm running on three seperate boxes.

+2 Boxes from me

I have had any input in the forums for quite some time though I still regularly visit, I mostly observe. I couldnt help notice the age of this thread and I think it is great such a thing has so many individuals within one community so dedicated.

This is a great concept and I have just installed their app on my desktop, il put it on my laptop shortly also.

My mother takes part in something similar, though not SETI, which helps research towards climate change - Im going to get her into this instead as IMHO this should be prioritised.

I'm having to fight the program so that it keeps its progress. Every time I need to restart the computer (for updates) it looses all its data! Twice, I was at 5180/2000 by the end of the week and its all gone because I had to restart. This is very discouraging.

Wizard1988 · Feb 11th, 2007, 6:41 PM

There is a way to prevent that. You have to go into the configuration menu and increase the checkpointing frequency. It saves the data to the disk to prevent what you are talking about.

BinarySurfer · Feb 11th, 2007, 7:21 PM

Yeah, I have had it set at 3mins, so that can't be it.
It looses all the data and starts at 0 again.

Wizard1988 · Feb 11th, 2007, 7:30 PM

That should do it but it might be a bug. NO?

Yay! It finally finished and transfered the data successfully. It only took three tries and 1.7 month.

gurumaniac · Jul 29th, 2007, 5:44 AM

Sorry this is so late. Its not a bug -- there is someting in their FAQ about data loss. I'v been on the DaniWeb team since Jan 2007 and I don't have that problem. Mine finishes usuall in 2-3 days. Our team statistics are here
