questions about seti hide and its cache

[Adul]

Does seti hide not flush the cache until all the wu units in the cache have been processed?

like let say I have about20 wu in the cache, will it wait to process all 20 first?

It should flush them as it does them.

You need to make sure under settings you have it set to "online".

And if you are using a proxy, that you have that set correctly.

If it that isn't it you may want to kill it and restart.

If that doesn't work try flushing one or two by hand and see if you get an error.
(To flush by hand is in the Cache section).

On the rare occasion, and I don't know why but sometimes under Win 2k I get two
Seti hides running at the same time. Check to make sure this hasn't occured.

Go into the directory where SETI HIde is located, there should be a "Files" directory. In that directory there is a text file name "SETIHide_is_hidden.txt" Delete that file and SetiHide will re-appear.


The file will be recreated when you minimize SetiHide.

Also, if you're on dial-up, make sure your internet settings have auto-dial enabled. I'm running SetiHide on XP and sometimes my dial-up fails to connect. I set up a daily schedule to connect at 6:55am, then for SetiHide to dump at 7am. That way, any wu's that don't flush after completion will at least flush at 7am some day that an active connecton exists. If it has to wait for the daily connection, fine; if it can connect on it's own it'll dump all wu's waiting.

ok what about computers with 24/7 connections? I just do not understand why I am not producing has many wu has I know should be getting

As far as a 24/7 connection, what Eponymous said. If you're in XP, you could do a ctrl-alt-delete and check the processes tab, find out if there's another program eating idle cycles. Also in XP, SetiHide will NOT start on windows xp start-up. You have to put a shortcut in the Start-up folder. That's annoying, and hopefully it'll be fixed on a future release.

hope that helps, and I'll try to answer more if I can

i put setihide on all the startup folders. I am just uzzled at my production or lack thereof.
