Hey gang, New to Seti (Seti name Scott559) and I have a couple of questions, I started crunching with a thrown together 939 based stock 4000 Sandy last Saturday night, First question, How long should I wait until I go to the optimized client? I am currently using the screensaver version, Next question I have 4 tasks that have been done for 5-6 days and they are still pending, Is it normal for it take awhile on some of the tasks? Thanks for any help, I won't have a crunching monster right now, However I will let it chug along...

Welcome Scott,

A little off topic, but you can/should switch to the optimized client asap. I don't have the actual figures, but you WILL get an improvement.

"pendings"-Seti (afaik) needs at least 2 people to complete each unit. If it's pending for you, you wait. If you get immediate credit, somebody else waited.

Hey ScottinIndy, welcome to the team.

I install the optimized client about 10 seconds after I finish configuring the base client (without graphics). No need to wait any longer than it takes to set up the account and download a single work unit.
