Make Sure You Update that SMP Client as it expired 31/1/08, other Updates too!

iCit · 1st February 2008, 9:11 PM

Yup, it's that time of year again where we can update to the latest and greatest clients.

Here is the link to the folding forum news http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=996 about what clients have updates available. The downloads are available from http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download

By the sounds of things the primary change is a longer period before the next expiration date which is now August.

Nice work iCit... was wondering when the clients needed upgrading again!

therazza · 2nd February 2008, 6:42 AM

SMP is still beta

Teddy2 · 2nd February 2008, 12:31 PM

Hmm, that would explain why my SMP clients no longer work

Its typical my usually reliable b/b connection decides to fritz itself & I am forced back onto dialup

AssM@N · 2nd February 2008, 12:38 PM

thanks for the heads up

Teddy2 · 2nd February 2008, 1:32 PM

Broadband is back, all clients updated, including Linux ones

Linux was easier to update than all my windows boxen.

Thanks Icit for the info.

Should get Bollocks to update the Folding page too!

Cheers Teddy

So thats why i lost a WU at 100% when the client wouldn't open...

dsquad · 4th February 2008, 12:29 AM

I lost one at 80%... stupid beta expiry dates...

It would probably also explain why the OCAU stats have dropped by about 150k points or so a day.

I'd bet lots of unattended machines have stopped working and people don't realise.

shouldn't the program still run until the next time we restart it?

I once had a client that was expired for 35 days.... my pcs are rock stable

Yeh it does.

I wonder how many people have automatic updates set to on ? Until I remembered to turn it off, my machines would sporadically reboot at 3am losing the WU.

Otherwise, what could be attributed to the massive continual drop in points ?

It does run until restarted, however, sometimes I have some other work for the machines, such as occasional lan gaming requiring it to be moved....

I am sure there must be a problem with PS3 points
very few are being credited
- look at team PS3
