Seti CLI help

I might be seeming a little lazy here but,

out of all this...

(I'm reading this at 2 AM in the morning and about to pass out)

which do I choose for d/l?

Obviously I'm not using the UNIX based clients or OS/2 etc...

So is it safe to go with the others?

THANX!!

Hope this helps!

Nice catch, CRV!

Thanks CRV,

Didn't catch that guide, definitely very helpful and would have saved a lot of time.

OK!
Done and crunchin'!!!

Now for the real questions and I know you guys have probably answered these a zillion times over so just bare with me please.

-Will this be running in the background at ALL times or is this what the "Seti Client Priority" in SetiDriver is for? I have noticed this updates the "estimated time" according to the system resources available.

-Is the correct way to Tx/Rx work units to right click on the Seti symbol in the SysTray and select "Transmit" ?

-Should I just STFU and just start a new thread specifically for Seti Driver ?


Thanx for the time and I'll probably have a couple more questions as they arrive.

<Should I just STFU and just start a new thread specifically for Seti Driver ?>

Heck no, asking here is just fine. Please don't stop asking questions if you need help, ok?

If you are running SETI on a PC that isn't used for anything else, I would set the priority to normal, otherwise I leave it at the default so it doesn't cause problems with other applications.

If you have an always on connection, you can check the automatically transmit option to have SETIDRIVER transmit whenever it needs to. Otherwise, click on the TRANSMIT button in SETIDRIVER to transmit completed WUs and get fresh ones.

It is also recommended that you keep several days worth of WUs in SETI DRIVER, just in case there is a network problem, or the SETI servers are down.

If you are into statistics, and would like to compare yourself with other Team Anandtech members, you can use Orange Kid's SETIQ to fetch/flush WUs to.

In SETIDRIVER, under Proxy/Socks Server, set it to proxy server, then put "orangekid.teamanandtech.com" without the quotes in the host name field, and "5001" without the quotes in the port # field.

Be sure to click on the Save Config button when done.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a bunch Ray,

I'm now set to use the Setiq, not that I'm into stats but, I wanna see what it does and maybe learn something.

Man, I love this thing...I'm already halfway done with a w/u I received at 7:00am and it's only 1:31pm!
That's fast, for me anyway. :Q This is a definite improvement over my normal 14 hr cycle time with the GUI!

Anyway I think I got this thing licked!

Thanks again guys, you are all very helpful as always.
