Oddly, now I see that all the stats are updated. I'm also wondering how you get the URL link to your website in the handle? Is that part of setting up a profile? (I haven't done that yet.)

I'll probably never catch up with you ATNO. :) I don't think I'll be able to coax my system into processing faster than you.

Yeah, you can put a homepage in your profile.

Thanks -- I'll have to do that soon, but didn't want to create it until I had fomulated the appropriate thoughts. Catching up?...yeah...might be a problem...I have three fast CPU's working it and expect to add a few more "latent" ones around work at first opportunity. I nixed my old P160 today because it was over 50 hours CPU time and hadn't gotten through a quarter of the first unit. Didn't want that skewing things. I feel if OZZU is going to do a thing, then I'm going to help it out ! *grins.

If you get the details on that faster command line thing, let us know.

Cool thanks ATNO, it all seems very strange to me, however it must make sense if so many people do it!! I am only on a dial up so my computer isn't ever connected when I am not using it, so that counts me out, good luck though!!

Hehe, yeah. I've only got one computer (900 Mhz). My average time for a work unit was around 7.5 hours.

I just downloaded the command line version, Seti Driver, and a program called Seti-Spy. I've got everything up and running.

These programs are for Windows.

Here's the link for each of them:

setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe

setiathome-3.03.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe

Client Download Page

Seti Driver

Seti-Spy

Seti spy is a handy program to have if you are using the command line version. It displays your current progress, info about the current work unit you are processing, and lots of other things. It's not necessary however.

It's pretty easy to setup. Just create a folder in which to place the client. Extract the SetiDriver.zip archive to that same folder. If you downloaded Seti-Spy, extract the zip to the same folder.

Next, follow these first run instructions: http://www.wakeassoc.com/setidriver/fir ... ctions.htm

The client will then start processing the first unit. When it's finished, you can hit transmit to send the results or they can be sent automatically by checking the auto-transmit button. Another unit will be downloaded immediately after a result is transmitted.

The cache is a really nice feature. If you plan on being away from your computer for a time, SetiDriver will keep the client busy processing units. You could download enough units for days of processing. It's also handy to have extra work units standing by incase of server troubles.

While your client is processing, you can launch Seti-spy to view stats and other info. Just follow the instructions when you run it for the first time. It's pretty easy.

I've included links to both the 3.03 and the 3.08 versions. A lot of users prefer the 3.03 version because it is faster. However, there are some issues with that version. http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/version308.html

If you need a linux version (or other), go to the client download page. Here's a useful utility for linux users: http://lin-seti.sourceforge.net/about.php

I only listed the programs I have direct experience with. There are many add-on programs, including utilities for networks, that you can check out here: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/links_addons.html

No it doesn't. :) I'm on dialup and it works just fine. You only have to be online to send results or download a new unit. They are pretty small in size. around 340KB.

im running the command line client with the SetiBuffer add-on: http://home.setibuffer.com/

it allows you to buffer work units, so if youre on dial-up you can dowload a bunch, and then just sit offline for a bit, analyze them, and then send in the results...

it also gets rid of that damn window on your startbar (it will minimize itself to your system tray), and also displays a nice little, non-resource comsuming progress bar...

i have 3 computers running it... my computer, which does packets at around 3.5 hours each, my parents computer, which does packets at about 8 hours each, and my file server, which takes about 26 hours... :P

ooo, and on a side note, we are rebuilding all the computers in the labs at school... and i convinced my boss/computer teacher person to let me stick SETI on them, because they do sit idle most of the time... :) im going to stick the graphical client on them though, because it just looks cool... just to walk into the lab and see the computers all running the little signal-analyzer animation thingy...

That's cool. :) Seti-Driver basically has the same features. It will hide the client as well. I've only used Seti-Driver. I'll check out the other to see how it runs.

The screensaver does look pretty cool. They are a lot slower though.

You don't need to be connected 24/7. The machine just downloads a 250K packet of data and then you can disconnect! I was worried about the same thing but thank heavens I found out you didn't have to be connected all the time.

In case you missed it, SETI is transitioning to a new version. During the transition you can use either the old classic or the new one based on BOINC.

Here's the new home page:
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/

And info about the transition:
