How do I start a team?

[Yamyam]

Could someone please tell me how to start my own sub-team within Team Anandtech? Just a link to the right FAQ would be enough. I'm about to add a couple of machines and I'd like to track my team's progress. Thanks.

You can either setup a new account and share that account with all of the members, or the better solution would be to run SetiQueue on one of the machines and pump all of your WU's through it. Then you can keep track of each machine independently. 🙂

I'm running on 56k.... one of the other machines will be on 28k..... any ideas? It looks like SetiQueue is impractical for dial-up accounts.

(btw.... the connections are slow, but the processing is fast! I've got an average of 3 hrs, 13 min over 249 WU's.... 🙂 )

To start a sub-team, you have a couple of options 🙂

1. Take your current account, and give the login details to your friends. You all crunch under the one name and have combined stats.

2. Each of you has your own private account, but you prefix it with your team name, for example Team YamYam - YamYam and Team YamYam - Bob and so forth.

The advantage of the second method is that you can see how well each person is doing, and can track WUs 🙂 The advantage of the first method is that your sub-team will move up faster in the rankings 🙂

If you wish to use method 1 (that's what the British Bulldog Racers are doing, which is the miniteam i'm a member of) then it would be useful to get everyone going through one of the TeAm public proxies. I am more than willing to allow you to use mine. Also, i can do what's known as dedicating a port for each person. As you are all on dialup, if i dedicate say port 5001 to you, 5002 to the next person etc, then whatever IP addresses connect (as they will change each time someone dials up to the internet) the queue will know which client is which 🙂

If you want any more info/help on this, or want to use my queue as i described, post here or PM me 🙂

What Smokeball said 😀


Tho i will admit most of what i said is what Smokie would have said, and what he has said previously, just i was up earlier this morning (or course the 6+hr time difference had nothing to do with it! 😉🙂

Aw man! I've been wanting that answer for years! (well,OK at least since GUI SETIQ came out😉)
Is this in any TA SETIQ FAQ? ,if not it should be!🙂

So all I have to do then for SETIQ to recoginse a user on dialup is to give them a port number once they've connected?
Like this?

 

[Confused]

Assim1, yep, once the client has connected to your queue, you can dedicate a port (remember to allow that port through in any firewall/router too!) and then change the client to use that port. Then any requests on that port is known to come from client x, regardless of IP address 🙂

Glad you mentioned the client port needed setting too or I wouldn't of thought about that!😱
