Hmm. Yeah try again in a few. If still nothing, then let us know exactly what you're doing
just tried again and the same thing.
i open up terminal, type the commend to get FAH running - it asks me to connect yada yada. i press 'C' to connect then it states this..
Code:
[19:27:38] Loaded queue successfully.
[19:27:38] - Preparing to get new work unit...
[19:27:39] > Press "c" to connect to the server to download unit

Waiting before retry.any ideas? i dont have terminal using my proxy server so i know thats not an issue.
interesting. have you ever gotten it to work on this computer?
i have mine setup to connect and download the work unit automatically - no need to press 'c' or anything. you might try it that way. even though that shouldn't matter
so 7 million on 20 APR, and 8 million on 9 MAY. that's about 19 days. getting better! but i will have a big outage at the end of june and start of july though
thanks!
i'll be moving (b/c of my job). so i'll have to find a place to live and all that
Some of my machines aren't always getting work units either, it's not your fault or your machine, I get the impression that Pande Lab is struggling to keep up with us is all - good for them, bad for us
it should eventually get a wu but may take several days of continuously trying...Are you on dialup? that is why you might want to have a "connect button" otherwise you don't need that when you do the -config, which you can redo anytime you restart folding.
Oh, that would be a good reason... I'm glad I won't have to move anytime soon. I have moved so many times in the past that I hope I never have to move again, unless I get rich all of a sudden
yup its worked plenty of times from this machine
oh that might explain it. i will leave it on for a while and see how it goes - nice suggestionSome of my machines aren't always getting work units either, it's not your fault or your machine, I get the impression that Pande Lab is struggling to keep up with us is all - good for them, bad for us
nah lol ADSL2+ (20mb), i might just leave it on for a bit and hope that it gets something
Oh, that would be a good reason... I'm glad I won't have to move anytime soon. I have moved so many times in the past that I hope I never have to move again, unless I get rich all of a sudden
yeah moving is not fun. but this time i'm going to get a house, apartments are too small. i gotta spread out the heat!
Had to wait till I got in this morning to give you an answer, then found I had to restart one of them (hung at 98%

oh ok thanks. yeah the one with 16 cores is right at my i7 @ 4.0 ghz, or pretty close.
Here is my macpro 09

oh wow. those numbers are nice! thanks for sharing.
i'd like to see the i7 980x numbers too
It seems I got stuck with an a0 unit last night that I thought was a bigadv unit cuz it was taking quite a while to do a frame, it was just single threaded. it now has an a3 unit.
A previous a3 unit on the i7980x:

im still getting nothing have left it on for a day or 2. it does indicate that there is nothing to get - but some of you are still getting work correct?

im still getting nothing
yeah some are still getting work. do you have it to connect automatically now?
no im not aware how to do that. would you mind telling me?
EDIT: its working now!! yays! i think i got an a3...

well first, how exactly are you using fah? are you manually starting it in terminal? and if so, what command are you using?
when i first setup fah, i run ./fah6 -configonly
i do this to configure the client. once configured, i don't have to change any settings, i just start it and let it go. when i configure it, i tell it to not ask before fetching new units. so it will do it by itself
here is the team summary stats page. you can find yourself from there. then you can track your stats.
to manage how many cores it uses - again, this depends on how you are using the client. if you are starting it from the terminal manually, then this is easy.
example of what i do:
./fah6 -smp 7 -bigadv -verbosity 9 -local
here when i put -smp 7, i'm telling it to run 7 instances of folding.exe, and that will use 7 cores for me. on some systems i run -smp 8, but it just depends on the system. if i had a mac pro, i'd use either -smp 15 or -smp 16.
but you could use -smp 4, or -smp 3 if you wanted. since you aren't using -bigadv units, you would use -advmethods instead.
i hope this helps. let me know if you have any other questions
yup starting terminal manually then i type the path.. from there it just starts running.
Code:
/Users/Jordan/Downloads/FAH6.29-OSX-Intel-Console/fah6thats a wonderful explanation! thanks so much! im currently at 39% of my 2nd unit on my iMac - and 40% on my hackintosh.. if i were to stop it processing now (by hitting ctrl+c) would it continue from where it was once i restart? id rather take a few cores off it to be honest, my machine is running a tad sluggish with the VM that i have going.
oh, and mine fetches units for me automatically - but when i first open the client it asks to press "c" to connect. im fine with that.
ok. so when you type in that command, do you give it flags? (like -smp 4) or do you just type it exactly like that and press enter? there are 2 ways to go about this (that i'm aware of)
1. is to type the command and flags all together. so in your case like this:
Code:
/Users/Jordan/Downloads/FAH6.29-OSX-Intel-Console/fah6 -smp4 -verbosity 9 -local2. or you can run the -configonly and configure the client, and put in the extra flags when you configure it, so you don't have to type all that every time. the only problem is that if you want to change those flags, you have to configure it again.
i'm glad to help
and yes, it should continue from where you left off if you stop the client (you might lose 1% maybe). now sometimes people have lost units, but that's mainly with bigadv units and after restarting the machine, not just the client.

yup i think ill do the method below.
Code:
/Users/Jordan/Downloads/FAH6.29-OSX-Intel-Console/fah6 -smp4 -verbosity 9 -localeach time i open up terminal then i can just press the up arrow, so i wont have to type it again. that doesnt bother me lol.
ill stop it and try now! let me see how i go.
