Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I tried that too. Actually, I compiled from source, but same thing. The BOINC keeps giving me an error of "No work available". Um... anyhelp?

--EDIT--
Also, know of any more fun BOINC distributed computing things I could join? :D

See this thread. Looks like only 1 or 2 are actually active still.

I just gave up, deleted it... and installed SETI@home. This is deffinately working and processing information.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I dont believe it can run offline... how would it acquire the data it is anaylzing, without a connection?

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I have a connection, just not on that computer. And I can transfer ~128 MB of units at a time.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Yea, you can process without an internet connection... but when it finishes doing how ever many packets you have it download... it needs to connect to upload the results and download the new packets. But during the actual processing you don't need a connection.

As Elgin pointed out earlier... there are several FIRST groups. I never knew about those myself, I'll join up with one of those... but I think we should all make an agreement as to which group to join so we're all together. I'd suggest http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...am_163242.html since 2 of the other 3 have nobody, and the 4th only had 1 user.

Edit: I noticed that group has all inactive members. What do you guys think would be the best idea? Just join up with that one... or another, or what? I guess it doesn't really matter if we all reach an agreement so we're together :)

I don't beleive seti by itself can cache units, so you need to be
online, at least to download work (then it will do that unit and wait
for you to connect again).

However, there are programs that will cache work units for you. One of
those is Seti Driver, and you can read about it here:

I'm not sure if you can use that or anything else to sneakernet workunits, though.

I didn't even realize there was a SETI client for the Apple IIe :D

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

OMG.. 19.5 hours for my first packet..

Whoop dee doo...

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Wow, now that I actually got rid of the BOINC, and installed something that works. I left it running all night on my zd7000 I don't think I'll do that again. HOT! HOT! HOT! :ahh: I'll have to let it run when I'm at classes for short periods of times or something, I'm suprised my case didn't start to melt.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Same thing happened to me.

BONIC suppose to be a improved version of SETI Classic, from my point of view it's unreliable. One day downloading data, other day showing no work available for 24 hours. I definitely like the classic better.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

:( I would have made a FIRST Group awhile back, but I got stuck in some other group. I put an HTML tag in the header that it didn't like, just as a test, and now the page I need to get to in order to quit the team doesn't load right because of that one tag. ::hmph::

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I'm not sure why, but I am finding this fun on some level. Checking back every so often and just seeing "Ooo, It finished another 3.79%. But then again, maybe I'm just wierd.
