Cant you split that file into smaller pieces and sent the pieces to one of us, we could join it back together and upload it for you. No?Quote:

Here's where I am now with this:
http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=7658
I don't know anything about splitting a .dat file. If taking the advice in the other forum doesn't work, then I might look in to that.
:cool:
Well, if the size of the completed work unit is an issue because of limited bandwidth, then splitting it into smaller files should certainly solve that problem. If its related to the FAH server I have no advice.
Splitting and rejoining is cake: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...assemble_files
I could give you an account on a linux server to send the split files to, then you could rejoin them and use a FAH client on the remote machine to send them to FAH servers.
Just an idea. It is better to fold than not to fold after all.

Woo. Totally started folding last night. No idea how to join the team though.
Anyone who wants to walk me through that, go ahead. Otherwise, I'm happy to be folding for humanity in general.
This is cool. :)
Run your folding client with the -config or -configonly option to have it ask you the setup questions again. When it asks you for a team enter 36480 which is the justlinux_regulars team id.
And welcome to the team!
Right, I'm joined up. Also installed F@H on my family's 3ghz dual core box. Windows. :(
Both folding for the team. ;)
Does any of this mean anything significant?

Cool!!
Too bad our trend line is steadily declining.
But we -are- still producing.
HEY!!! I just noticed that I have passed a million points!!

There is no way to fix this except to recruit folders. Im gonna bring it up at mu LUG meeting tomorrow and make sure everyone knows about it, but even thats not enough to get us on an upward trend. We need lots of new and active folders.

You know what else you don't see every day?
A 4 year long running thread on JL.
HBD to "I just folded my first protein"
So... did they change the way they process work units, or something? I seem to be getting more points per work unit recently.
I've been up close to the range of mhanson's (techwise's) ankles lately. :D
Well, except for your little slip of late:

I made top 15? I'm happy and sad. Happy I made it, but I had to cut back the number of PCs running the client. So that means there aren't that many people still folding on the team... :(
I'm still optimistic :)
I was curious myself. Yesterday I checked all my machines and they seemed to be doing units as normal except for one that was timing out on getting a new unit. I wonder if units have been in short supply or the server has been down because my daily points are down like 40%.Quote:
So... did they change the way they process work units, or something?
There hasn't been any outages reported on the FAH site so I don't know what to make of it.
Id love to come by some extra cache and upgrade one of my servers to faster Xeons.
Cheers
Mike
cache for you...
http://www.ushistory.org/tour/more/i...banknote02.jpg
:cool:
Ouch, my point production of late has taken a big hit. I've noticed that I've had a lot of work units that were using only about 50% of my CPU though so I think that may have a lot to do with it. Plus my Myth box got shut down by a power outage while I was on vacation last week so it wasn't doing any work either.
Its funny... that was a subconscious typo. I meat to say and spell "cash". I guess I had cache on the brain for some reason. :rolleyes:Quote:

Hey Trilarian... Where'd you go?
So, I just realized that I will have been folding for 4 years at the end of this month and I'm closing in on 4,000 work units.
As I've mentioned before, I just hope that all of this eventually leads to some big breakthrough in fighting diseases such as cancer and MS and Alzheimer's, etc...
It would be a little disconcerting to find out that the real reason for the project was to provide processing power for some new Holo Deck gaming technology where the people at Stanford are the only people having fun with it!! ;)
Not to worry, he has been putting our cycles to good use:

Does anyone know if there's a way to limit the % of cpu F@H will use under linux? I know in windows this is an option, because windows doesnt do 'niceness' the way *nix does.
Basically I'd like to still contribute, but I dont want my cpu & gpu at 100% all the time. For one thing, I want this hardware to last, fans included, secondly, its a quad-core phenom and a radeonhd 4600, they can soak up quite a bit of power, and then there's the noise factor...Doesn't bother me, but it bothering my girlfriend at night bothers me ;)
Any thoughts appreciated

Description: limits the cpu usage of a process
cpulimit is a simple program that attempts to limit the cpu usage of a
process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). This is useful to
control batch jobs, when you don't want them to eat too much cpu. It does
not act on the nice value or other priority stuff, but on the real cpu
usage. Besides it is able to adapt itself to the overall system load,
dynamically and quickly.

As soon as my case gets here I'll be building a Core 2 Quad machine (which was within my budget) and give away my old, slow crappy Pentium 4 machines and Pentium 3 machine and AMD Athlon 3000+ machine. So much heat, and so little work units! :cool:
That will leave me with the following machines, an Atom 230 (single core), Atom 330 (dual core), Pentium 4 (overclocked by about 15%, ok, I'll keep this one), a dual core E2140, a Core i7 920, a core 2 duo T8300, a core 2 Extreme X7900, and a soon to be core 2 quad Q9400.
Now, here's the part where you go... :eek:
I have a single phone line with a 56K US Robotics modem.

Long time no post....
OK, so, my room was getting really hot. I've shut down 7 computers.
And I'm still number 2 !!!!!! :D
Where'd je_fro go?!?!?
:cool:
I'm having heat issues of my own :(
My good PSU died and I bought a dud at Fry's that I need to replace because of poor cooling.
This Sucks!
Luckily, most of my crunching gets done in the server closet at work and thats got AC in it. But things do heat up at home, especially during this intermediate period where we try not to run the AC for as long as possible leading up to summer. At home I really only have two boxes always crunching plus my laptop. I have a large fan that directs air out of the office into the halway and that helps but later on in the season I'll likely cut off the 2nd box and just leave up the server.
I sure wish the prices would come down on the QC server procs. I'd really like to do an upgrade.
Cheers,
Mike
