Yeah that will certainly help quite a lot. You should be under 4 hours per WU now.

Hmm... Maybe that's what I need to do to stay ahead of Mict... *click&read*

Oh please do tell me you weren't using the GUI version.

I'm using the GUI version on my Macs - but I Command+H it to hide - then the gui seems to only update when I tell it to show - takes a sec to actually update as well. Also, the GUI version is SMP aware - because it usually uses around 180-190% of my CPU time in top.

Has anybody else had trouble connesting to the server to send results and DL WU's over last night?

Well this morning when uploading two WUs, one failed but the other one got uploaded fine. SETI servers are under huge loads so they might have misses from time to time.

Yes...

Quite annoyingly it happened right after I switched to CLI...

Oh, and Didou, yes I was using the GUI version...
I really like to be able to check how many units I've crunched without loading up the seti page...
Oh, and the only reduction in time I've seen so far is about 20 min, so I'm thinking about switching back...

Well let it run for a while, & see after a few units how much your average time has gone down.

As far as knowing the total amount of units, it's not like you upload 1K units every day ya bum.

& the caching option alone should make you wanna keep the CLI + SETIDriver combo.

No, but since I'm not at my computer all the time unlike others *cough* *cough* , it's nice to be updated through the GUI instead of having to load a bloody browser...

And it still hasn't given me much of a speed increase...
It's not like it'll increase the speed with which it crunces when it "feels at home" on my pc either...

That is the one reason it's not gone allready. Now at least it has 10 units to work with if their server decides to take a break like yesterday

I'll just pretend you didn't take a stab at me. Ah what the heck...

/me slaps MrG like the silly duck that he is...

I'm at work most of the day so I only look at hte progress of my current WU which is a pain in Linux ( you have to open the state.sah file & look at the line "prog=" ).

& as for not seeing a speed increase, you are truely the first person to not notice one. Maybe if you stopped encoding those DivX files in the background, you would notice it.

LoL

Mayhap it has something todo that it was allways running minimized to tray without using it as a screensaver? That way the GUI isn't in use any more than that of Seti Driver, with the exception of when I wanted to check my progress...

Well I keep it running minimised at all times, that doesn't stop it from taking up 100% of the CPU cycles. BTW make sure you aren't running both the screen saver & the CLI version at the same time.

On another note...

We now have reached 10 years of computing time. Thx to all for contributing to this common effort ( especially Papeh with his computer parc at home hehe ).

Papeh has also reached 4K units so another reason to congratulate him.

PS. I know another reason to congratulate Papeh but I won't tell.

Here's a milestone for ya - 2 hour work unit anyone?

I'll try to catch it when it's under 2 hours.

BTW the longest I've seen a WU finish on this machine was under 3 hours, because I was gaming right in the middle of when SETI was on. It's not that I have small WUs

I'd like to see it when it's at 99%.

The time-left estimation increases with time. Cheater !!!

lol It finished at 2:11. And I know it increases with time - I started a new WU this morning and the estimation was 1:11 :eek:

Maybe I'll post my SETI.csv log file?

OK, is it me, or is the team effort dwindling!?

I just updated the team stats on my SETI Spy, a couple of hours ago. Total WU's dropped from 109 to 97, and team CPU's dropped from 21 - 18!!

C'mon guys!!!

I have no evidence backing me up but I still wanna call MrG a SLACKER !!!

I wonder if I can get a few of the Xeons at work to crunch without anyone noticing.

Hehehe...
You are quite correct in that Didou. I turn seti off when I play games, and sometimes I forget to restart it after I'm finished playing....!

I've been wondering if I should try to get some cpu time from my university, but I'm not sure how popular that'd be, since it'd take over cpu time used by authorized mathematical programs........

As for the team, just because we've dropped down with 12WU's now doesn't mean it's going to stay that way... Maybe more people experienced a reboot during the night like me... Or maybe they've been needing the cpu time for something else for a little while...

I took one unit off line for repairs and havent botherd to reconect .But I have it working on cancer trying to get my hours total down

As the old Scotty would say...

Mr Spike, she can't take much more of this !!! She's about to blow !!!

It seems a lot of people have come back on board after some time of hiatus. Welcome back all.

& if anyone else wants to join, get yer fanny on the train !!!

PS. Here are a few icons for you SETI lovers out there.
