3 Client Limit Removed.

[Dalephi]

For those that are part of the Red Library TeAm (or want to be) the powers that be have removed the three client limit. Our TeAm is currently sixth.

If anyone is interested this is a DIMES type program that relies more on internet bandwidth rather than high CPU usage.

From the Red Library Site:
What is this projects purpose?
The idea behind this project was to make a client application which downloads links from the Red Library server, validates them (i.e. checks to see if they are 404 or not) and then returns the results back to Red Library. The Red Library server will then double check all the links that come back reported as 404, and remove the links if they are found to be down over a period of 7 days or longer. Basically - the more people that run the client, the less bad links will be present in Red Library!

From what I have read the program uses about 20 megs or less of memory after it settles down from startup. This program runs very well along side BOINC and DIMES. The max settings per client allow ten links to be checked every five minutes.

It looks like once the client settles down after start up it uses less than 5 megs of memory. This is also a project listed on DC Vault. DC Vault. With a little help we could move up to third position in Red Library and help our standings in the Vault.

What do you mean by "3 client limit removed"?

Per PC or per user?



(BTW: I just joined )

 

[Dalephi]

It was a limit of 3 clients per user.

If you want to add more than one client per computer just copy the directory then rename the directory and the exe file.

Welcome aboard.

Thx for the hint Dalephi!

I have to wonder how long it takes all these PC's to validate "7000+" links. I'm guessing not too long, like hours...

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. But if you take a look at the main page, it says that only today they already validated some 2,274,502 links. :shocked:

Dalephi, do you know how this works?

I saw that as well, but then I wondered if it was the same links verified many multiple times. The project is sorta short on real info...

I was wondering that myself. I was assuming they were going to expand. I don't think they expected this type of response. Probably going to put some limits back on.
