What? Folding in general or a specific client?

**CCRomeo** · 14-06-2007

in general

no just a question, thanks

**zevia** · 14-06-2007

Same here, the windows clients (SMP and non-SMP) does not slow down my system.

I noticed slow down when running VMWare + Ubuntu + SMP on my XP 32bit systems. The most noticeable slow down is during program startup, ie starting IE or FF will "wait" 5-10 seconds before the window appears. That's why I switched to Windows SMP client.

However Dee-27 told me that she does not experience slow down, perhaps because she is using 64bit OS, which has better memory management.

The only one I noticed that caused any slowdown is the GPU client when opening most programs and/or windows.

That's a good idea. Maybe these posts could be split off to a Linux Folding thread so it's easy to find for anyone else needing help.

(Maybe jwill would consider splitting it?

)

wish me luck, I'm going in

On the subject of F@H, my Internet connection took a dump right as it was sending my results

yeah i just checked it out. Good job

**Arachne** · 15-06-2007

Just a general question I'm hoping someone can answer

As I mentioned earlier, my net connection died as the client was attempting to send the results of my last WU.

In the Work folder, I have a results file for the WU (.dat), will that get sent?!

I always save another folder if I am around and close to the end of a wu and if it screws up I shut it down and copy the work and log folder over to the one that screwed up and it resumes from the point I saved it, Learned this from losing lots of WU's so far, I had a problem with the settings and Debro said don't use IE explorer setting and it fixed it but I lost the WU. It's a pain copying folders but it works.

If it doesn't want to copy go to the task manager and end process Smpd

Rats, looks like I've lost it then? Even though the results file is still in my Work folder?

Awwwwww

Thanks for the info though, I'll definitely do that if it takes a crap again

Give Linux a try

**jwill427** · 15-06-2007

you could try closing the client then restarting it, it should try to autosend all completed units

**Arachne** · 15-06-2007

I'll give that a go, thanks jwill

@rolling - soon my dear, sooooon

**zevia** · 15-06-2007

Arachne, backup the entire folder to another drive/directory, then run the client again from the original folder.
