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?
 
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!

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

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
