I will have a look as I have it somewhere....once found it will be where it should be.....*wink*

*shrug* I don't know what's going on, both UDP and ICMP show as blocked, but I'm getting points.

sweet i can run this on my powerbook...i'll do this

[Corsair]

Well, I'm about to decomission this comp, so I figure I'll add as many folding and such programs and leave it running all the time...

I'll try Dimes too, I got FiOs... so there's deffintly no harm...

With that much bandwidth, you should also give Majestic 12 a shot.

With that much bandwidth, you should also give Majestic 12 a shot.

Can't make an open assumption like that. FIOS by verizon in Tampa has a slower download (by a 2 full megabytes) then the equally priced Roadrunner by Brighthouse service. FIOS's upload however is faster by a megabyte.

well i just join F@H so i think ill join dime as well. I have 2 conenctions i can run this on.

whats the total monlty bandwidth draw? about 4gb?

Welcome. We really do need all the help we can get. One one Instant I think about 600MB per month. I'd guess at 20-30Meg per day.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

just installed the agent, though I think I need to open some ports on my router's firewall?

[[XC] riptide]

OK... Port 443 / 80 and I think there is a listening port of 33333 opened by it on my rig.

On VMWARE its also using port 137

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Those are all udp ports right? I got no option to edit the fw's icmp settings which I think Dimes also uses?

Thing is, in the messages screen all I get is INFO: Destination host didn't reply. with each traceroute or ping, but in the graph screen I do see nodes flying about. Hehe the info page off the project is also a lil scarce

Edit: I got an 18/1 adsl2+ line with unlimited bandwidth, how many clients could I run? I got a p3 I can put on dimes if I install an os on it ( or linux live cd? ) and my gf's p4. I can run some virtual machines on my main rig to but I'm running SMP also so idk if that's a smart move?

Thats FINE!!! Its working. Ya the traceroute pics up the route to the actual IP address... so its still a measurement. Welcome aboard!

Think if that's running aok on your's it's fine here to thanks

Though... I don't think one agent running with 18/1mbit adsl2+ is nearly enough so I'll try and get the old p3 and my gf's p4 running this to, might try and run vmware on the p3 as I don't want to mess up my SMP folding on my main rig. Bleh second time I said this lol I am still waking up sorry

Yes^^^ That sounds good.

Oh BTW you'd be well advised to remove that post from LukeXE's thread. Jinu does not lie when he says he will hand out infractions or bans. Even 'nice' post will get you a PWN.


EDIT: Ahhh ok so you were invovled... ok! Nvr mind!

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Jinu pm'd me, but that was after I made that last post so I think he must have seen it and thought he'd leave it there? We did agree I'd let Victor and Luke post the results off my mediation attempts. If he didn't see that last post when he pm'd me idk even if I can delete posts myself thought only edit?

Anywasy back to Dimes. So when are you getting VMware up and running? Not putting pressure on you or anything

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Well I need some confirmation from you guys it won't interfear with FAH on my main rig.. I can use my gf's p4 2.4g running xp sp2 to host the vmware clients, but atm that rig is down as well as my old p3 system. Down meaning I don't have room to set it up, I had a nice hobby room here with all my gear but we have a guest who is occopying that room so I had to take the main rig downstairs in the living room just to be able to use it. Bedroom is to small to hold my desk, it's on the large side, so not really any choiche then using the diner table lol.

I'll pick up the p4 and put it atleast on a regular agent today I promise, with vmware comming tomorrow or next week, on either the p4 or p3 ( can a p3 733 run vmware? ) Can one use MS virtual pc instead off vmware?

Heres a Taskmanager snap. Each virtual machine does use a snip of CPU cycles. It get noticeable at about 10-20 VMs. But under that and it sho8uld be really unoticeable. Also it uses a lot of ram for each VM.

So about 4mins per VM per 15 hours of running. BTW that also includes the VM startup usage which is a good chunck of that time usage. After startup its very small.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Running 4gb atm though xp 32bit, but don't think I'll run out off ram soon. FAH does take allot already, each worker thread is twice your vmware's hehe.

I got Vmware workstation 5.5.3 that will do right? I already got dsl though idk which build, dl and burned about 3 months ago so atleast as new as the guides.

Have to free up some disk space first, hdd's are cramped already. About 100 meg per vmware right?

I don't do DSL. But for my TinyXP setup its set at 64Megs.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Mhm yeah I could do that to. Linux vs Windows doesn't matter for Dimes right?

Nope. Don't think so. Lots of people had good experience with the Linux version.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Meh stupid question really when if I read through the section it's said you can use your older rigs without problem and Dimes uses java

Installing win2k on the p3 atm, don't want to mess with vm to much on this rig.

Edit: seems my ide hdd has bitten the dust. Installation couldn't complete it keeps hanging while copying files. Going to try some older hdd's I have ( 10gb,4gb and 2gb flavour anyone ).

[vaio]

Dimes will run on pretty much anything.........used to run it on my Duron 800 notebook.
