It should save your progress when you shutdown/restart or whatever. It should automatically create a work folder in whatever directory you run the client from and save everything in there. If it isn't making one then it might be defaulting to the one that was made for the graphical version if you didn't remove that folder. I dunno, but it definitely should save your progress when you close and pick up where it left off next time you run it.

I rarely use the text only client; only if the graphical one causes a problem in something else. So far the only problems I've come across is when playing Diablo or Gunbound and I rarely ever play either game so I use the graphical version most of the time. The two are interchangeable for me though, if I shut down the graphical version and start the text version they still work on the same WU.

Y'know what I've noticed? I actually finish the 5000 frame WUs faster than the 125s I've been getting, but the 125 seem to be worth more points. O_o

Seems odd, I think those seemingly smaller ones are sometimes the ones over 5MB that you have to set in config to allow. Anyway long story short, smaller isn't necessarily faster as far as the WUs go for me.

Ok... so when I set the thing up, I said I was part of team 90021, but when I look at the stats... I'm not there... maybe I'll wait until I've completed my first work unit?? I keep starting them over on accident!! T_T

@ Pritcher:

I can't seem to get the graphical one to work! I download it, and when I go to install it... nothing ô.Ô So I stopped trying, and got the text version... T_T

Yes, you have to complete a work unit before you show up in the list.

Hard to tell why the graphical one won't install with so little information. My best guess would be that you're using Vista. That's easy to fix; remove Vista and go back to XP :p. Just kidding, but installation is a little trickier with Vista's default security settings in place I think. Read here for information on that.

If you have XP then I don't know what the issue might be. Only thing I can think of there is that maybe you don't have .NET Framwork 2.0 installed. If that's the case then get it here or just use Windows Update.

I'm still using the only sig I've ever used on here. Except during Christmas, I still used the same sig, but I put lil santa hats on the cacti.
