Descent Bulletin Board folding team now active
All one needs to do is DL the client from here:

Our team is #39070
Any client program can contribute to the statistics for this team by putting the number 39070 in the team field

How to set up the console version:
1) remove the shortcut in the startup menu (start > all programs > startup)
2) DL the console version for windows on teh F@H website.
3) Place the exe in the Folding@Home folder in your program files
4) Create a shortcut for it on your desktop
5) right click the shortcut and select "properties"
Add the command line to the shortcut as pictured -local -config
6) run the shortcut and read the options. Plain enter leaves the selection as default. It will ask you if you want to run it as a service. Type "yes" and hit enter without the quotes.
once done, it will run. The service change will take affect the next time you boot.
7) Go back to the properties of the shortcut and remove the -config switch.
Keep the shortcut just incase you ever decide to turn off the console and want to restart it without rebooting.
from that point forward it will just run. Pretty cool.
If you have a hyperthreaded machine then you want to add some steps.
1) make another folder in your program files called folding@home2
2) copy, not drag and drop, all of the contents from the first one (Including the console you just added) to the new one.
3) create another shortcut for the 2nd version linking to the console's exe in the 2nd folder.
4) use the -local and -config switch on this one and run it
5) when it asks if you want to modify the advanced options type yes and hit enter.
6) Tell this one to run as a service too
7) tell this one to use "2" for machine id, it will be set to "1"
8) once running edit the shortcut removing the -config switch.
now you can run two instances and it will use all of the CPU.

So where's the difference w/ folding ? As far I can see those guys leach on you even worse -- CPU goes up to 100% -- wear & tear increases, power requirement increases, who knows what that app does w/ your machine besides stealing CPU power/bandwidth and the glory for the official result goes to the guys running the program and writing a paper about it..STRESSTEST wrote:And after the years of doing that "thankless" effort I decided enough was enough due to all the leaches in the world.

[22:48] <[NuB2]Grendel> heh -- mainly because this machine is a) dedicated to games and b) not running all day
[22:49] <[NuB2]Grendel> Also I'm not comfortable w/ this kind of code (same for seti@home) as long it's not open source

I've got 640mb is that a "good amount" or should I stick to the smaller stuff.

Does Folding@home run on dual processor machines?
Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version (with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows). First, make additional directories for each processor and copy the FAH Console executable file into each. Then configure them with the -config switch, filling in settings for each. It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings" option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 8 ). The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional copies should be given IDs of 2, 3, 4, etc. Each may then be run out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows.

give me some credit, i know how to make a shortcut and add command lines
when i ran the shortcut it brought up a box that showed the command lines that i could use and what they do, but the program wouldnt start unless i ran the executable directly.
it also was not running when i got home from work, and it appears to only have run 1 WU. is there a way to make it keep going until i manually shut it off?
