Problem, My AMD machine will not download 2.4 KWSN. I get a 7z file from the mirror. No problems at all with my intel machines. Perhaps someone could advise. Thanks Star gazing did the trick. Went back to the AMD found the file again, did a file extract found all the associated files and did a drag and drop. checked "Task Manager" Sure enough KWSN 2.4 is crunching away. Thanks to all for getting my thought processes back on track. I am now fully updated, both "Boinc" and KWSN. |

Assuming your computers are networked.
LOL....I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that still has floppy drives in all of my rigs! Can be very handy at times. I actually did the 2.2b to MultiChicken 2.4 update on all of my rigs with a floppy, 'cuz it was actually faster than linking to Simon's site and downloading on each and every rig. Downloaded the zip file and saved it to a floppy, and then snapped it into each of my rigs in turn to do the deed. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

snipped ... Glad you got your stargazing in. Here it as the met boys would say " precipitation within sight" i.e. p*****g down. Had camera batteries all charged up and clean memory card in camera, fixed to tripod, and then nothing. Andy |

Thanks Not to get off track, but if you install WebMin(freeware/GPL) on your Linux machines, you can talk to them via a web browser and do file transfers, maintenance and status checks. It makes life very nice if you run headless machines like I do. Boinc Button Abuser In Training >My Shrubbers< |

Not to get off track, but if you install WebMin(freeware/GPL) on your Linux machines, you can talk to them via a web browser and do file transfers, maintenance and status checks. It makes life very nice if you run headless machines like I do. Webmin is a significant security risk, and if ever used it should only be run over https or tunneled. It is a magnet for hackers. If anyone has hacked into any part of the host providers machines, they'll be sniffing for passwords and more machines to 0wn. An SSH terminal is far more powerful though now few providers offer shell access. WinSCP is all one needs for file transfers. For managing multiple headless Win/Linux/Mac machines together I really recommend BoincView. With Linux machines you can create ssh tunnels with putty and connect through them securely. It also obviates the need to have port 31416 open externally as from the remote Boinc's POV your tunneled connection is local, and all the machines projects and workunits can be managed at once with a click. There isn't a more painless way to manage BOINC on so many disparate machines at once! Andy. |

If anyone has hacked into any part of the host providers machines, they'll be sniffing for passwords and more machines to 0wn. Good comments, and I agree. Webmin is fine provided that you restrict access to be only from your own internal local secure wired lan. Certainly don't try it from any old random internet cafe!

Except for a usb 3.5" fdd and an internal drive and cable that I no longer use for anything outside of a real emergency(It's not installed as It's in storage in a bag), I have none connected internally to any of My PCs and haven't had any installed in any PC for the last few years.

If you installed the new Coop app, you won't ever DL the stock 5.27 app. If you were referring to MB WU's, then you have to wait until there is work split for it from the ALFA raw data, but the new app will crunch the Linefeed data without any trouble (other than the lower claimed credit).

It makes life very nice if you run headless machines like I do. I didn't mention that I only open 10000 (Webmin) and 31416 (Boinc) to my local master's IP address.

Hi, I just came back from vacation and had to read a bunch of new threads. As usual I find Crunch3r's "down to earth/easy to understand" answers very usefull to my worries. Thanks a lot Crunch3r ;) (I am now upgrading all rigs to "Chicken Soup 2.4 MultiBeam") Kiva Greetings from Norway Crunch3er & AK-V8 Inside |

I just noticed that on a Angle Range 405 MB workunit that the stock app is as fast as the Chicken SSE app. on my Athlon 2800. Is this probably because the stock app already uses SSE?. I thoughi it was rather odd because my X2 4800 and my P4 Prescott 3.4 are showing about a 25% speed improvment over the stock app with Chicken 2.4 SSE2 and SSE3. Thx. |

[quote Thanks, MajorKong, I have set my client to no new work to finish my last Chicken 5.17 WU's, and I'll then delete the app_info.xml and try to get some of the 5.27's. I'm still crunching 5.27's from Beta... [/quote] I still cant figure out what the fuss is about. All mine on my machines are 5.27 (using Boinc 5.10.18). I do know one thing, the front page aint right. There are still troubles getting downloads, not that I have to worry just yet. |

You can get a 100mb USB Zip drive for $59. I use 'em between my home and work computers. Or a 500mb USB memory stick. Steven Gaber

BOINC has been trying to download 5.27 for a couple of days... Follow the link to Optimized Apps in message 617717 from Simon below in this thread. Install the appropriate optimized app and you can then cancel the .exe download 'cause you don't need it. |

BOINC has been trying to download 5.27 for a couple of days... The problems are still related to the server problems. Up- and downloads are only sometimes working. In the moment some of my WU downloads stock... |
