Quietly crunching away...

[Ototero]

, I'd dumped over a 1000 but only 600+ were credited. Oh well, I was using spare cycles on my office 'puter for 2 weeks.

[Brucifer]

yeah, distributed.net throws in some work units and the first one that returns it gets credit. Then too I don't know what the "life" of a work unit is now. As they get closer to the end, they are probably getting a bit more efficient at getting units recycled.

[Brucifer]

Well the "end" for OGR is getting close. The keyserver is out of work units now so no new work until the admins start scanning through and looking for non-completed units in the database now. This has been a good project though. The dnetc client is a good solid one and the project has clients out there for about everything under the sun. And other than a few hiccups over some hardware server issues, there has been a very solid supply of work. A really good example of a project for too many of the Johnny-com-lately boinc projects. Not many people on the team crunching it now. Ototero and North Van Mike have kept plugging away with this project also over the long haul and were still submitting results as of yesterday.

It will be interesting to see when they shift over to the next stage in the ogr effort. Will also be interesting to see if they shift the follow-on project over to boinc in addition to the standard clients. Don't know whether or not it's true, but there have been some rumors about that maybe happening. But anyway it's good to see a project come to an end due to actual completion of the goals rather than just quitting due to poor management.funding.infrastructure.

I liked running the RC5-64/72 part of distributed.net back in the day, because it could run on the old (new at the time) Pentium I's and II's and AMD K6's. That was back when SETI@Home Classic was the big dog. I guess it lost some luster after the Secret Key Challenge was discontinued.

Except it gets knocked out by my antivirus client which thinks its a trojan.

My AV ask once, I told it to ignore DNET and get on with some real work lol. Never troubled me again.

Yes, the challenge is over as far as RSA is concerned, but the distributed.net people are still honoring the award, and it is still in effect.

What are you running now for an AV?

I've been running AVG for ages, no problems with it whatsoever.

[vaughan]

I'm running Kaspersky Anti Virus version 6.0.3.837. It seems to have taken a dislike to Dentc.

I managed to run OGR for a day recently but now it just fails to run. I see it try to start when XP re-boots but it gets killed off somehow. Same occurs if I try a manual start of OGR. I tried uninstalling deetc and did a repair install but still no go.
