CTP2 and SETI Client

[Falconeer]

Hey, OmniGod, I finally passed you on the list I switched over to the command line version instead of the pretty graphics version and am now getting a work unit done in 6.5-7.5 hours. Woohoo!

[OmniGod]

I've not had mine on in a few days due to probs with my comp and massive usage for the mapping project... don't get to comfortable ahead of me I'll be back

[skorpion59]

Yeah, the DOS or CLI (command line interface) version is the one to run. It is much faster than the Windows version. It takes more effort but it is worth it.

Just don't fire it up when your 6 hours into an 8 hour video encoding session. Had to learn that one the hard way. Oh well, live and learn.

about these radio signals--

they come from that big-ass satelite dish that you always see in movies, right?
(Aracebo?)

by the way--
let me know if you find some aliens

LOL


but seriously--
the seti@home program is a great thing!
(i used to run the screensaver, a few years ago)
i'm just suprised (and happy) this many of you are a part of it

Hey I resent that! Unix is not DOS!!!

That would be the one.

You mean you didn't know Unix was built on DOS!

Technically, it is SetiCli (Command Line Interface). All CLI clients are listed under Unix.

Well folks, incase you haven't noticed...SETI at Berkeley has been down for the past few days. Evidently, vandels cut the fiber cables used for the SETI Project. The report stated the vandals were looking to salvage copper from other nearby cables

So if you haven't been able to connect to Berkeley to upload new data - this is why. The report states that service should be restored by Friday 02 March 2001.

Yeah, my computers have been going through Seti Withdrawl the last few days. They are starting to like not running at 100% CPU utilization.

No problems here yet. I use Setigate, I program that will cache SETI-units for you so that you can continue to process workunits even if the server is down. But it shouldn't last much longer. Depending on what else I'll be doing on my computer I have only for 16-20 hours of units left.

I finished the last of my cached units yesterday. I was lucky in that I had just downloaded 3 units about an hour before the line was cut. I've been looking at this as time for my CPU to cool off a little bit. Stepped back my overclocking and watched my cpu temps drop about 8 degrees C. It thinks it's on vacation... Ooops, gotta run, it just placed an order for another round of pina coladas.

The SETI Site is back up and running

[Darkknight]

Who is Titos and what type of super-computer do you have. I've just finished my first file in 52 hr 43 min and i went into the site and baaam!
there is someone who can do a file in 44 minutes. Wow big crash in grand prix just watching it couple of spectators hurt

[Paul]

Sometimes a workunit has so much noise in it that SETI can't do anything with it and just asks for a new one. In that case you can get very fast units.
