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.

sounds like u're unlucky to be stuck with a big project~ not every project is that big...

=D i guess u're one of those that's easily amused~

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.

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.

Pritcher u took off your cool sig O.o :(

^Err thats kind of off topic...? o.o

Anyway, I tried having my brother explain to me about this folding at home thing and all he'll say is we can't do it and mumble stuff D:

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.

Oh well it's not for everyone I reckon.

~bump~

why is it always updating when i tried to see the Member list -.-

After stopping for about a month, I'm beginning to fold again!

I still don't understand what it's for. >.>

:eek: We're tied on work units at 45 each, but I have 3435 more points . :p

Welcome back into the fold.

I don't really know any better way to 'splain than has already been said :/
It helps with research into protein folding. http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/em...sed/giveup.gif

My project seems to be stuck at 347/1500 for some reason. =/ Guess I'll leave it on overnight to see how it goes. Hope it becomes unstuck. Dx

It's been almost 12 hours and my folding proceeded to 420. God it's slow. D: Maybe it's because I'm uploading.

-fold fold fold fold fold-

How someone explained it to me was... (i hope this is correct, but it made sense to me)

Is that Folding@Home uses your computer's idle resources (extra left over RAM and stuff) to do calculations, and when it's finished, they send the results back to their server thingy.. whereever that is...

Serious question...

I put in my team as 90021 and it matches all the info right... too bad my WUs aren't going towards our count =/

and my name's not on the list... >.>;;

Any help please :D

EDIT: WAIT WAIT.. I'M TOTALLY THERE NOW =D

welcome aboard Booyah!

2nd WU completed @ 5million steps each.

3rd WU started, but this one is only 1,5m >.>;;

haha i use to watch every WU and its progress too keke

Have we got some new members? =D WELCOME!

Wow... new WU takes 45-47 mins for 1% when I'm not doing ANYTHING...

due date: May 10.

LMAO.

Lol, I find it works best when I pay as little attention to it as possible. I rarely even check it anymore.

i 4get that mine is on now.. HAHA

Too bad my only computer is my laptop... so I can't always have it running like you guys... I tried to get my mum to use her comp all the time for it... but to no avail =/

Only using my laptop is also another reason I only have 4 WUs done =/

wow
 

*just finished
reading the whole
post from1~19
and i couldn't roughly
understand about 35%
of f@h,
sorry for being....
"uneducated"
^^
am i the only
8 almost 9 year old here?

Since the minimum age for this forum is 13, I would say yes.

:confused:
Since when is there a minimum age for this forum? I didn't see that in any of the rules and there's no age questioning when you register as far as I can recall. It's probably not entirely recommended since sometimes topics and language get a little bit adult, but I didn't think there was an actual rule. I've always censored myself a bit around here on the assumption that there were chilluns around.

Anyway @ PAstEl - I'll only say this requires you to download and run a small program and you should never do that unless you fully understand what exactly the thing is and what it does. If you really would like to be involved then it would be best if you got your mother and/or father to look into it for you first and let them make the call. :)

Pulled from the FAQ section. It is recommended, although not fully enforced.

now i see
 

i can handle adult
topics well i guess,
i know not say
"those" things
and maybe i'll ask my brother 'bout it.
thankies anyway
^^

:eek: I just noticed that Hessah has surpassed me at last! Oh noes....

Prolly cuz I took it off the second computer and I started shutting down my computer when I leave. I used to just leave it on all the time.. oh well.

*folds with renewed vigor*

Oh em gee. Val and I's thread got to 30pgs last night o.o This is at 20. Omg. What did we do? @_@

Lol, a whole lot of nonsensical spamming would be my guess. :p 30 pages worth in a night eh? Wow. That's probably more spam in a night then I've done since I've been here. I'm not too big on the spammage even in MoS.

We like to call it small talk :x

I've been running this forever...

and whenver I can... I calculate the time it takes to do one step.

This work unit is over 1hr per step

2 WU's ago..

was almost 2h a step...

OMG

I better be getting some über points.

/quit
 

Well, as part of operation "Slowly and Completely Vanish from FiestaFan" I've switched back to my old team and am no longer Folding for FF. You guys keep it up though.
:)

:eek: Traitor!!!!!!!!!! :p

Ok, I've just joined up, and I put in the FF team code, but my name doesn't show up on the list? Do I have to finish atleast one WU first?

yup
