PrivateerXtremeSystems should work - I notice you joined yesterday and have submitted 1 result so far, so it could be waiting for the next update?

Edit: I see that the World Community Grid stats are now showing the updated result - however your WCG (BOINC) figure doesn't look right, are you using the Boinc Account Number for WCG as in my previous post #50?

I should imagine your Boinc stats will be up and running with the next boinc update.

Thats gutting, I read boinc clients are faster, IF id installed UD on both of the PC, that have boinc on them they'd have done 1000 points by now.

Edit: I'm still learning my BOINC points have gone on the UD score, why's that ?

Also my team ranks are different, hows that possible, if WCG is the main body.

The UD client directly produces WCG points that do not appear in the Boinc stats, however Boinc produces Boinc 'credits' which contribute to the WCG Boinc only stats - and they are also multiplied by 7 and added to your overall WCG points.

Therefore there are two seperate sets of stats you can monitor, overall WCG stats which everyone at WCG contributes to (Boinc + UD), and the WCG Boinc only stats which only those using the Boinc client contribute to.

Have a look at post #12 HERE for an explaination as to why there are two different clients.

If we look at your sig sats at the moment as an example - you have 446 WCG Boinc points which x7 = 3122 overall WCG points - the reason why it doesn't directly tally with your WCG points in the sig is because Boinc stats are updated in the sigs several times a day, whereas the WCG stats are updated once around midnight UTC.

The reason why the team ranks are different is that the WCG ranking includes everyone using UD client and Boinc, wheres as the WCG Boinc rank only includes those using Boinc.

Be assured the Boinc client will outscore the UD client

Thanks for that.

Just joined and installed and i am having problems. It says my agent is paused. I click on the Icon in the tray and a message comes up. I click ok and it attepmts to download, files. It downloads some but then they just go away. My system meets or exceed all the specs. The only things that I think might be hindering is the fact that I installed on my Windows 2003 X64 bit server. It should still be able to run it in 32 bit mode. The causes they list dont help. I have McAfee 8.0 but dont see where I have to disable the under buffer protection, if that is what is preventing my tasks from downloading. HELP!!!!!!!

Hey stranger Are you using BOINC or the UD agent?
Use Boinc, that works fine. Questions, turn on your ICQ and I'll help you.

Hi guys, I have been in the WCG since March 2005 and I wanted to start a thread about this project, but I thought you guys just roll in Rosetta ...

Anyway, as I crunch WCG quite a while, I must say that I also vote for the BOINC, cuz its far better, and with cruncher's files its the ONLY choice IMO,

GOOD LUCK and I hope we'll make a great crunch-team with xtreme-results ...

I'm gonna sign up for this at long last in a day or 2. Might get it going before weekend. Just have to install a few wireless cards tonight. Now I'll probably grit my teeth and use the boinc client. Since WCG isn't been covered much by BOK at the moment, is there any stats that are covered. And i mean stats close to the quality of Boks usually standard. the stats on WCG just doesn't cut the mustard for me? Will BOINCstats show us the real picture?

just installed 5.4.11 and it is only using 1 core and noth both fo them

how can i fix that ?

EDIT:

ok now after 12 min BOINC downloaded more tasks and it is using the both cores now

Go to your WCG properties, go to device manager, device profiles. Then click the Boinc profile you want to use and set 'Connect to network about every xxx days' to a number of your choice. The less, the smaller the queue

[Fr3ak]

You have to edit your profile preferences ont eh WCG homepage.
You can get there using the boinc manager. Open the projects tab and click on WCG. Now chose "Device Profiles" on the left and a webbrowser should open. Now you can edit your default or home profile, or whatever you use.
"Connect to network about every x days" is what you have to set for the amout of WUs it downloads. A smaler value downloads less WUs than a bigger value.

Edit: Oh well Martijn beat me by a few seconds :P

[Okda]

A smaler value downloads less WUs than a bigger value.

Thanks both

but just to be very clear, if i set it to 5 days for example it will d/l less WUs than if i set it to 10 days ?

what is ur config on ur main rig everyone ?

Yes. My main rig is set to .5 days, it is connected to the internet all time and does one FAAH WU in 5 hours. This will mean I have an average of 4-6 WUs queued

can i run this on multiple pc's?
