    No problem getting onto the project now.
    Lots of work right now.
    It's not a bandwidth hog, but I did find my desktops getting a little bit sluggish.
    This client is getting all of the 100% out of all cpus.

    Have a look at the applications page.
    All client apps refreshed last week.

    They have different clients for different hardware specs for both linux and windows.
    Someone put their thinking cap on and worked out how to get the max out of the volunteer boxen.
    Nice work.

    Significant rate of computation errors though.
    Winding it down again.

    Further examination reveals that all windows platforms error-ed 32 and 64 bit, winXP and Win7, AMD and Intel.
    All linux platforms completed work successfully without errors.
    There seems to be a fundamental problem with the windows apps.

    You can add Windows8 64 bit to the list of platforms that only give errors.
    I removed the project from the Windows8 box and wait for the Windows7 box to return something valid.
    If not then I remove the project there as well. Viewed by the number of participants in the challenge so far,
    only team Colombia itself (with them un-Colombian names) can get valid results

    I've aborted my attempt to get points with this project. If you manage to get a WU till the end you cannot upload it, and the results gets shown as "Error while computing". They can ##$% my &^%$ if they want, but I get out.

    Sometimes we can not do every project with ease. It may take awhile till they find they could be doing more beneficial work if they would just fix their current system.





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    Challenge is going on now for more than two days. Still only two participants, both from Team Colombia.
    I tried to upload some 6 results, but they were all given as errors on the project site, while the client just could not get through the server whilst trying to upload. Seems outsiders are just not able to connect, at least not at the moment.
    Let the sort out their side of the system first before commiting themselves to a challenge, or at least try to improve as SAT@Home did.

    My Ukrainian isn't good enough to post on their forum, maybe I'll try Google translate to find out how to log in their forum (when I am already logged into my account I seem to have to login even further)

    I tried running a bunch of Slinca tasks; they took ages to run and ended in computation errors. I scored zero points for over a week's CPU time.

    Useless waste of time project and their forum is incomprehensible gibberish.
