Race 4 Stats - Finished!!

[gamer007]

Enigma's down right now. Must be a trend since around this time last night, it was down as well. Probably should increase my WU queue, now I'm stuck waiting for some more WUs...

It's online for me so that everyone can see that I'm the user of the day. Account was created at saturday and now I'm uotd.

I see that. Very Cool computer geek.

I like your signature also about Linux. I couldn't agree more.

thank you mitchellds but now i try to kick your ass in the 2core-category. but i don't get my turbo turned on.

Hi Neo,

so why is it so slow for this project? Is it just slow getting it from the network from them, or do they (enigma) generate the XML output slower than others, or is they're format different than others, that ends up causing you more work?

just curious.

thanks again for all of your efforts for us !

I think that the enigma@homer-server is just very slow compared. It needs 3s to get the website for me. other sites only need 1s or 2s.

[mitchellds]

heh heh, good luck with that endeavor. Just a suggestion; you might have better luck/accuracy just jumping up in the air and kicking yourself in your own ass in the dual core race.

The 4 core race is another story. I'm getting trounced. I lost 2 days cached work with a disk failure probably due to my last weeks power problems. bummer dude

Its all in fun anyhow. Hey I see you have a vintage duron still running. Did you ever do the pencil mod to overclock it?

Exactly as txt.file said, the Enigma server is quite slower than any other I've seen.

I don't use the xml's, they don't provide info on the tasks. I grab the tasks pages directly. Each page hit can take between 5 and 10 seconds here, and for each stats pass I do between 5000 and 6000 page hits on their site, to pick up info on every task of yours. (I mean everyone, not just you, altough you have >1000 )

And this morning when I woke up I found that the stats process stalled, and had to be resumed again. Must have been due to the downtime gamer mentioned. Thankfully I didn't have to start all over, just resume it from where it stopped.


It's annoying but not critical, because be it slower or faster by the end of the race I will have your final stats for sure.

No Thanks.

I could overclock it in BIOS to 1600MHz (default 1200MHz) but then even the BIOS won't show up and I must reset the BIOS.
