That's great!

What kind of problems did you have?

Is that the Linux or Mac client?

Hey great. I tried only 2 days ago and it couldn't get anything. Is it getting 64bit data units or just defaulting to 32bit?

Running into problems is only to be expected when running alpha-builds...

To work correctly, both server-side and client-side must be upgraded, and very few projects has yet upgraded server-side so don't work at all with 64-bit-clients. But, even if server-side upgraded, even the last alpha-build, v5.9.9, is still buggy, and don't work correctly with all upgraded projects...

Hopefully v5.9.10 fixes this, but afterall it's alpha, and has also various other bugs...

Thanks for the update Rattle. The 64bit version of BOINC was actually the "recommended" one when i went to put it on my new C2D. Later on when I went back and looked at "all" clients did I see that it was an unstable release. There was no warning about that when I downloaded the 64bit version. I ended up wasting a day of potential crunching time waiting for the Rosie servers to update before I gave up and installed the 32bit.
