I'm a Newb...Cannot connect to server (SETI)

[forkd]

I just downloaded the windows version, installed, signed up and tried to use it. It keeps telling me "cannot connect to server, will try again.(Error-16;0) 0%" Am I doing something wrong or is this the bandwidth problem I have been reading about.

Please advise as I am trying to connect 3 computers tonight.

Thanks in advance.

yes, probably the bandwidth problem

Can you try again later, like 3AM?

 

[forkd]

I will. Will it continue to attempt to connect on it's own or do I have to manually do it?

Just let it run, it will try to connect every hour.

is that the GUI that you are using, if it is you are probably better off using the command line version and seti driver, since it will cut the time it takes to complete a WU almost in half. after you get that set up especially considering the badwidth problem, I would set up setiQ. I know this is a lot to do right away when you are new, but you can always ask any question you want and nobody will think the less because we have all had to ask the same questions. or you can PM me any time you want and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

also another advantage of using setiQ is that wiz is hosting a whole bunch of WU's that you can just download into your Q and not have to worry about Berkley for a while. If you need links for any of these applications, just seach for Sukhoi's help thread.

Welcome to the TeAm! 😀

Thanks! I do have the GUI version. Can you guys link the CLI download site and maybe another FAQ (one for really stupid people). This would help
