One thing that bothers me with UD is the inexistence of 3rd party tools.

With SETI, you could use applications like SETI Driver which gave you many options such as :

- Running two processes ( for Dual CPU rigs because SETI isn't multi-threaded )

- Logging results & analysis stats in an Exell file

- Caching work-units ( downloading more then one unit at a time allowing to crunch for the next five days without connecting for example )

If the UD server happens to be down for maintenance or anything of the such, you can't upload your results or download any new units. It doesn't happen very often but often enough to have a caching possibility.

The UD page is currently down that has the Techspot logon info. Anyone have these settings so I can sign up?

Forget it.. Im in. I just did a search for the Techspot team from UD's homepage. We should be at 14 now.

We're at 14 baby! So many that we have to have two links to compare all stats across the board now.

First 10 Members

Second 10 Members

Or this Link which shows all 15 members contributions even though my 8 hours hasn't been logged with the UD server yet

Why don't you contact them via e-mail expressing these concerns and perhaps they will be addressed? Stranger things have happened....

Bah my first 0:000:07:29:32 of time is registered just to me and not the team... Oh well

Arris - that's why I post the links the way I do for our stats - it's more accurate.

I'm number 16.

Ah.. I see. But then its not stats for the Techspot Team as such
Although since I am running this on the PC I am working on the reported figures will demonstrate how little work I actually do

you know, nevermind about that "UD WUs take too long", I've finished 3 in 11 hours

Arris - you are right. It didn't hit me until I thought about your post for a couple of days, but the stats that I keep linking everyone to represents all the work they've ever done for the project - not the work they've done since they've been on the Techspot Team. Since your team generated points don't travel with you when you change teams the links I was posting are inaccurate. The link you posted would be the most accurate for our team.

Hey Julio, how about something like this on the front page? A news post? I think that may attract some of the people to both the forums and the team.

You mean I got something right???
Wow...

Well guys, we have broken past 10,000th place on all stats for UD Ligandfit (Cancer). We are also about to break a year of total CPU time. 19 current members - things are looking good. We're producing almost 50 units/day now as well. We're movin' on up - to the east side.

I've just been leaving it running on one of my machines full time. Its not my most killer rig (in fact, its a Duron) but its better than nothing and its been churning away CPU cycles for a bit now....

That's what I do with my laptop, when I don't have it in class. It just chugs away.

And I agree that it is for a good cause.

im running it on my laptop whenever its possible. Nighttime especially.

Hehehe. Duron rig...what's it rated @ phant?

My good old 2100+ is rated 173/100 over the P4 1.5GHz

Heh, looks like I'm number 23 - and I'm catchin some of you up quickly .
