BleepingComputer.com: Folding@home, Distributed Computing At It's Best

This seems weird to me.Just finished a 5000 WU which the server gave me.Now it tells me it doesn't recognise the WU.Can anybody shed any light on this,Please.Here is the last part of the log.

DSTM - that's almost exactly the same error sequence that I experienced.
Except the last two attempts showed Error 503 also.

My two "lost" units uploaded very early this a.m. and I'm hoping they'll show up shortly in the list.

Hang in there and let the system work. Appears they might be having some server problems there? Upload overloads?

I just checked the stats and all my WU's are now there.
The one I'm working on now freaked out yesterday & restarted.

I set to finish a WU tomorrow morning barring my PC doesnt shutdown again. i think Ive got 3 days left on the LT but is working much faster than it did with Windows

Well the LT freaked out when I overloaded the CPU and memory and had to reboot. (Note to self dont run Synaptic, FireFox, F@H, and 4 GIMP instances at once. so much for multi-tasking). So it restarted the WU.

I am behind by 1 WU too but, so far no other problems.

Mt current standing 6666

i am about to finish my first wu
just a quick question is it normal for it to take about 4 days to do a 5000 frame wu?

5000 WU takes me around 48hrs at around 75% CPU.

thanks dstm
maybe because i started last week and then paused it ,it took a bit longer see how the next one goes

Different computer setups act differantly with differant WU's. Mine pumps out odd sized ones (125,150,250) in 48-72 hours but takes a week to do regular units (2,000-10,000) and about the same time or maybe a week more to do a larger one (10,000-100,000) it varies depending on the WU and CPU and RAM you use.

I don't leave my computer on 24/7 like those hardcore folders up there, so mine (on the old comp) took about 3-4 days to finish a 5000.
I haven't gotten a 5000 one on the new comp, so I'm not sure how long it'll take.

thanks for all the info guys running my second one now

Way to go mz30!

thanks t mack
