Side note... what is the fastest WU time now a days? My two rigs are turning in 4-6hr WU's and I seem to remember a rig back in the day did 2hr 50 min WU's....


Have any desktop systems cracked the 1hr WU yet?

P4's with HT can do 24 WU's in 24 hours pretty easy especially when OC'd.
That's doing 2 WU's at the same time so the time for each on mine is typically 1:58.
Mine isn't OC'd very much because of the stock HSF on the cpu.

Same here, now I have to have my laptop right next to a fan to keep the processor under 68C.

I have a P4 at work, 3.something GHZ HT, but its behind a firewall.


I have a flash drive that I can transport WU's on a few times a week. Do I just download a few hundred WU's on my machine here, and then copy them over to that machine with transmit disabled, and then bring them back the same?

I would just set up another copy of seti driver (in a differently named path than the one I am using on the machine that's downloading the WU's - so it has two complete copies of seti driver) then tell it how many WU's you want & after downloading them shut off that instance of SD and copy that whole thing over to a flash drive then take it to work & copy it to that machine. I doubt you are going to need more than 150 WU's a week, especially if they turn them off at night / weekends - then more like 75 - 100 a week.

P4 3.2ghz HT, on 24/7/365, never turned off. I remote into this machine when I work from home so it is always on


Yeah I bet probably 100 max... So lets say it chews through 94 of the 100 WU's I give it. Do I copy all 100 back over? And then copy 100 new over, or can I do it somehow without wasting WU's?

Welcome back to crunching dxkj :)

I found it easier to just keep everything together. One folder with the S@H .exe, SETI Driver, SETI Spy(optional) & all the WUs. Then i just transfered the entire folder between the two computers.

You could also try a program that has an import/export function like SETIHide .

Got it working


Rig1= 1 WU every 5hours, on 24x7 4.8 a day?
Rig2= 1 WU every 4hours, on 24x7 6 a day?
Rig3= 2 WU every 3ish hours, on 24x7 16? a day


Should be able to hit low 20's a day :) hopefully

If you have a thumb drive you aren't using for anything else, put Seti driver and the CLI on it and run it from that. When it is time to transmit take it home stick it in and wait till it fills back up. Take it back and it is good to go.

a 128MB thumb drive can be had cheap now adays, so even that makes it easy.
