Hmm

F@H isnt working for me. It says "cannot connect to assignment server" Then it says "cannot connect to secondary assignment server". Have any ideas? I dont have any firewalls besides my router btw.

Maybe the Windows Firewall? The servers may have been busy. Other than that, the router should not cause this unless it has a hardware firewall.

Absolutely, come on everybody, tell your friends, family, pets and accountants. If they're not folding with us, then ask them why the hell not? If you pop round to fix someone's computer, then ask them whether you can set up the computer to fold. Not only can you have an extra pc folding on your username, but you're spreading the word about the good that distributed computing offers!

Too many people have folded between 1 and 5 work units then given up! Was Rome built in a day? Did Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get to moon only to say "on second thoughts, that surface doesn't look too friendly, lets head back"??? No! I'd like to see everyone who started folding with us to carry on where they left off. Praetor, that includes you.

If you're of the opinion that there's no point in folding because 'what difference can one person make', then you're just plain wrong. Voting systems would collapse if everyone thought like that, so come on and join the team!

There, rant over. :)
 
Thinking about getting folding for this forum:D

I have

1 3700 Sandy @ 2.92GHz
1 P4 1.7Ghz
1 Celly 735
1 Celly 600
1 Celly 650

Should be able to get somewhere, have around 11000 points on another team.
Should I change teams?:D

Yes! :)

Seriously, I changed teams from CustomPC, as soon as I reached 20,000 with them and got my name in the magazine (:P), so you wouldn't be the only one to change loyalties. We need people like you to round up support.
 
Lol if I carried my points over I'd already be in 2nd place:eek: :D

and BTW, Just as I switched over the team number I had a WU ending 5 mins later, would that go to the team or my old one:confused: :)
 
And if my points carried over I'd already have 29,000, making me 1st place. :(

I'm not sure to be perfectly honest. The easy way to find out is wait a few hours and then see if you appear on the COFO Stats. If it counted towards us then that'd be one of the fastest first-work-unit-completion times we've ever had! :P

I'm well chuffed with my progress - since I joined on 17th May I'm already in 5th place, and hot on the heels of Jan only 200 points in front... That either means I'm doing a lot of folding, or nobody else is doing enough.

Either way, Jan, you're mine... :P

Haha....I love you too :P (Ehmm)

Now to the point, I think people have been folding less in general but we got Yeti back folding. It's the summer and many people are on holidays. I am still folding as much as I was before. The same 2 PCs are involved. If only we could get more people help.

JAN :D

Yep, you may be right. Glad Yeti's back, he's been a great contribution to the team, but I can't understand we're still at 29 members with only a handful of regular folders - I don't get what can be so hard / unappealing about doing it.

I've got a 2.61Ghz Opteron 144 and a stock 3200+ folding most of the time, but am still looking for new pc's to add (legitimately) to my username...
 
I used to do it with my PD rig, but im on a P4 2.2 and it would take days just to get one done. I tried setting one up on the families Celeron 2.6Ghz, but even after a week it wasnt close to done, so I just stoped folding.

Once I get a better rig, I will probably start up again.
 
Nice one dave, it's great that the BBC is helping with the exposure of distributed computing, and even better that Sony is joining in to the whole philosophy.

Incidentally, I noticed that nowhere on the folding@home site can you see some kind of representation of up/down rank movements within the team, so I thought I'd make a graph and keep it updated as time goes on. It'll give you an idea of which users are active and overtaking and which users are not.

I just joined up, its a good cause and my PC is generally on all day. BTW, does folding speed depend on your pc's specs?
