zpeterz63 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 I'm realizing that if I had known that OCRemix had a team when I first downloaded FAH, I could have 8th right now. As it stands I'm having to live with my recently swiped 14th. *sigh* The injustice of it all. Quote
Pallad Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I just got on since this is the first I've visited OCR in a while and I see this as way more useful than SETI@Home. Username is Hardcorey on F@H. Quote
zpeterz63 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 This may be slightly premature, but only slightly (if it is). However, the fact still remains that we have now made it into the top 1000 teams out there! w00t! Hurray to us. Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Am I the only one having connection problems? I noticed I was getting a bit more behind Ickes than usual, so I go to check my logs and it's been trying to reconnect for who knows how long. It's happening on my other PCs, too. This is what my log shows: [16:53:46] + Benchmarking ... [16:53:49] - Preparing to get new work unit... [16:53:49] + Attempting to get work packet [16:53:49] - Connecting to assignment server [16:53:49] - Successful: assigned to (171.64.122.112). [16:53:49] + News From Folding@Home: Welcome to Folding@Home [16:53:49] Loaded queue successfully. [16:53:50] Error: Got status code 503 from server [16:53:50] + Could not connect to Work Server [16:53:50] - Error: Attempt #1 to get work failed, and no other work to do. Waiting before retry. It goes on forever. Quote
zpeterz63 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 I've had a few connection problems, but it usually goes after a few tries. Haven't completely a work unit in about a day or two though so I don't know. They might be having server issues. Quote
IckesTheSane Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Am I the only one having connection problems? I noticed I was getting a bit more behind Ickes than usual, ... You can have a chance to catch up this weekend if you can get connected... there was a thunderstorm as I was leaving work today, so we had to turn off the 3 computers I had running it.. they won't be back on til monday morning. I just checked, and it says we're in the top 1,000 teams, 998 to be specific, so now its official! Quote
zpeterz63 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Well, we're finally starting to level out in the point accumulation rate. Time for some more recruites. Quickly now, hijack all your friend's/family's/roommate's computers and install FAH! Quote
IckesTheSane Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Any changes to your firewall? Maybe its being blocked now? Try uninstalling and reinstalling it? I dunno... just some thoughts Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 The only firewall I have, technically, is my router. I use the console version, I guess I can try downloading that again.. *edit* No go.. this is lame. Quote
K999 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 The only firewall I have, technically, is my router.I use the console version, I guess I can try downloading that again.. *edit* No go.. this is lame. Do a virus scan. The same thing happened to me a few months ago. After the virus was deleted, things went back to normal for me. Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 I use AVG and always have it updated and running.. there are no viruses. Quote
K999 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 I use AVG and always have it updated and running.. there are no viruses. That sucks. Maybe you should present your case at F@H forums. I am sure they will able to help you out more so than the rest of us. I haven't heard of AVG before so I am not sure if that program also detects and removes spyware and/or adware. You can use ad aware and spybot for that. That might help. Quote
zpeterz63 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I have had a couple of instances where AVG Free didn't detect a virus. You may want to try another anti-virus program as well to make sure it comes up negative. ClamWin is open source and free. It's slower than a lot of engines and you have to manually take care of the infected file, but it seems to do a pretty good job actually detecting the stuff. Quote
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted May 20, 2006 Author Posted May 20, 2006 And a one, and a two, and a bump! Good work guys, we broke the 1000 teamlisting count and we're still going! Quote
Angelbane Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 hey. i've joined up. Hope i've done it right though. Is there any way on the site to create your id, or do you just input that in the console at startup and it creates it in the site's db? Quote
100_PERCENT ROEMER Posted May 22, 2006 Author Posted May 22, 2006 You input your name in the application, and you show up on the scoreboard once you've completed one WU. Thanks for joining Quote
Kenobio Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Just downloaded and started running it. Glad to be a part of this. Quote
zpeterz63 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Welcome to all our new members. Now that we're in the top 1000 teams, let's not let up. Keep pushing on. Keep folding those proteins! That is all. Quote
