Is anybody experiencing a reduction in RAC recently? Mine is almost half of what it had been. Maybe it's me or maybe it's my computer. This machine is nothing special, only a Gigabyte MB with an AMD A Series Black Edition dual-core processor running Windows 7. It is doing nothing exotic like you guys do.

However, it may be using an inappropriate web-based computing preference.

I 'm trying to chance my computing preferences, but am having difficulty due to user ineptitude.

When I click the tab it communicates with the client and says "Using web-based preferences from http://pogs.theskynet.org/pogs ," one of my former projects. That ain't right.

POGS is now finished and no longer being processed, but I can't seem to change the setting. to S@H.

Could that be why it's running so slowly? How do I change the preference setting?

It's just saying that it's using the preferences from your last attached orthe project with the most current preferences.

this is my computers current project resource allocation

25/05/2018 09:36:38 |  | General prefs: using your defaults


It's using prefs from the sourcefinder alpha testing that shutdown at the same as TheSkynet. POGS

Aside from the resource share (and any subproject/application opt-ins) all the projects have same common resource usage settings

There's no need to worry about it.

If it does concern you just modify your SETI@home prefrences. Once you save the changes and issue a client update . [/code]
