i have a question about Smokeball's installation instructions for SETI@home CLI v3.03...it doesn't really say anything about the SETI Client Priority box in the SETI Driver window. i have mine set to low just b/c i think that's what it defaulted to when i first installed it. does anyone else use the "normal" or "high" setting? should i be using a different setting? thanks, Eric.

oh yeah, one more question. if i leave the "display transmit" box checked, what exactly will it display? will the DOS window pop up again and show me the DL of a new WU once the current WU is finished?

EDIT...one more question. i'm using SetiSpy to monitor my progress. there is a "use SETI Spy" check box at the bottm of the SETI Driver window that Smokeball said to leave unchecked at his installation/ setup instructions webpage. SETI Spy seems to be monitoring my CLI's progress fine with the box unchecked. is there a reason it needs to be checked off? i would assume it only needs to be when one is using SETI Spy, but my SETI Spy seems to be working w/out the box checked. should i then leave the box unchecked or what?

Leave priority at low, no need for it to be higher..

If display transmit, then yes, setidriver will show dos command window when transmitting, no need either..

The setispy i think is so that seti driver waits a few seconds between uploading the finished units.
Basically it allows setispy to discover that the unit have finished.
Recomendably for users of setispy..
