LOL, well the seti packets are coming from the computer at some Univ. Maybe we are really tracking cell phone call for the CIA /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Roy my icon is blue /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I am running seti driver. It is basically the same thing, but it caches work units up. It is great for my laptop. I can run seti and don't have to worry about connecting or being on line. I have the laptop set for 12 units, once it is done with one it just starts the next one, then once you go online it sends in all the results and gets new ones. It is also great if the SETI site goes down, you can still keep working on data.
Roy, if your running any virus scanners they usually make SETI think your computer is busy, so it won't work on any packets, or at least it slows down the process a lot.
With setidriver I can force seti in to "high priority" mode, I can run a packet in about 4 hours as opposed to the typical 5 on my 2 gig machine, but man it slows the computer down a lot. I tend to just leave them all set in low priority so it doesn't interfer with anything I would do on the computer.
For the record I have it running on my home 2 gig, home 1.7 laptop, and this old 650 here at work.
