Want to Contribute but confused

[Michael73]

Hey - I downloaded one client 6.24.1, installed it and tried to open it via the application icon in the applications folder but it said it wouldn't work on my machine. I don't really want to go the terminal route. BUT, I went to system preferences and looked in the Other section and there was a Folding icon so I entered a user name and the MR team number and clicked the button. So, is it working? How do I tell?

you start it in system preferences. look at your activity monitor. if it's working, it'll be using your processor

I'm not confused per se, but do have a question and thought that jumping in here would would be better than starting a new thread.

When I first tried to run F@H using the (new at the time) SMP client, I kept running into issues where near-complete work units would fail. This was about two years back, and the program was officially in beta at the time. From what I could tell, the failures resulted from a dropped network connection -- at least, all the symptoms that others were describing were happening to me.

Can anyone tell me is this issue sounds familiar, and whether it was resolved? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me is this issue sounds familiar, and whether it was resolved? Thanks!i had lots of problems with halfway completed units even with 6.24 but 6.24.1, the newest version, seems to have fixed the issue on all my folders. please give it a try again

How do I tell? the terminal route isn't that hard. it may look daunting, but i think it runs better and is less intrusive. i can walk you through it
