I don't get this boinc thing

[lyssword]

I have seti and rosetta projects butthey don't do anything, I click update, tried everything the system just sits idle. Also rosetta says in "messages" you don't have 100mb free space (which I do, and my preferences its more than that) check ur preferences. Where is that? wth.. so confusing.. *status communication deffered* wth?

For Rosetta you need to go to the Rosetta home page and log into your account on the Website. That is where you change your setting ( preferences they called them with BOINC) Once you log into your account edit your preferences and increase the amount of disk space rosetta can use. The click the update on the project page of your boinc software on your computer. It will then update your preferences and should start downloading work.

This has been one of my favorite things (no, I am not going to burst into song) about TeAm AnandTech... Everytime something changes, or something new comes along, the rate that the collective knowledge of this TeAm grows is astounding. And the way all of you are willing to pass it along to the rest of us..... VERY COOL folks... :thumbsup: :beer:
