Folding @ Home Questions on -bigadv

[GLeeM]

1. How do I know I am folding with a Passkey? I entered it in config, but I don't see it listed in the console window text anywhere.

2. How do I find out how many core_A2 WUs I have done with a Passkey?
I want to try those -bigadv WUs after I do ten small ones.

3. How large are the -bigadv uploads?
I have an up/download limit so I need to know if they are too big of an upload, because then I won't be able to run -bigadv continuously 🙁

Thanks for any enlightenment!

I'm interested in this info too... Been hearing about these -bigadv's around...

The only definitive answer I have to the above questions is that the upload is about 97MB.

I'd say go back into config and if the Passkey shows up you're good, but I have no idea how to tell how many of your WU were done with the Passkey.

I finished a bigadv!
My upload was ~99MB
It updated on EOC at 6:00AM, there were two WUs so I would guess I got ~54,800 points. Average time per frame ~32 minutes. The kid closed the Player yesterday for about 6-7 hours. I ran it without the GPU. I am checking this next one with the GPU crunching too.

So the passkey must be there.

Question: why don't these show up in the list of completed WUs on my personnal official F@H stats page? Does it have something to do with the passkey?

and how do you get fahmon to read the vmware_player ?

Also, even though I have been doing 2 x CPU clients (the big point units, 1920) for over a month with this box, this is the third time it has said it has had a problem at ~6% every time. I have yet to finish a unit in a week.

I can't remember how I got it to see the vm. It now shows the network path -

backslash backslash FAH backslash fah backslash

My Win7 found the vm as a network drive and I can see it in Windows Explorer.

I'm not sure this will help, but I did notice when I'm adding a client in fahmon 2.3.99.1 (latest version), there is a checkbox for "client is on a virtual machine". Is it necessary to "check" that box?:hmm:
