I just joined online and want to know what to do.
I know the computer is running the program, but what does O/C's have to do with it. What is 'group 32' and 'work units' that I read about.
Sorry to be so dumb about this, but please bring me up to speed.
Thanks.

Welcome to the team. WU is a work unit that is sent for seti@home that your computer "decodes" and sends the results back. group 32? Do you mean place #32. We have the 32nd highest total of any team in seti@home. The faster your computer the faster you "crunch" a WU. Seti loves fsb so the higher the better. Did you set up setispy/driver/clc?

Not that I know of. I just did a few things during the program download. Basicly just my nic-name and email address.
Please fill me in on that.
Thanks.

Here's a "beginners" explanation I wrote:
http://www.ocsetiteam.com/members.htm
Seti ranks a user's effort toward the program by counting the number of work units an individual has completed. When you join a team such as overclockers the work unit credit that you have as an individual is added together with all of the other members of the team. This overall number is what gives the team a world wide rank relative to the other teams. The units you have completed always remain with your account. If you leave the team your units go with you. The 32 you asked about is our current world wide ranking out of about 90,000 other teams. Glad you joined and if we can help you with anything let us know.

Basher,

I read your post link. I will do this in the morning. It is almost 2 AM here.
One more thing I want to know is how do I give my work credits to O/C #32? Is that part of the "workaround" that I saw in the link.
Thanks for getting me straight on this. I'm looking forward to contributing to the team.

THat is what i used

Ok that is what i went off of to set it all up but i cant seem to get it to dl a wu from a queue! it will dl from seti@home but not a queue?? should i just queue up a few days in each of my computers using seti driver? is the use of a outside queue even worth the trouble?

Do you have a 24/7 connection? If so I would set queue up on your system. If not just open driver and click the proxy option button type 129.130.176.109 in the host textbox 5517 in the prot text box. Click save config. Click Transmit. The first time you connect it will take a little while for it to set up an account and fill your queue. The is B-Doggs queue, I think it is the best since it is backed up regularly.

welcome to the team...looks like these guys got you pretty much set up

 

[Mictlan]

Aside from B-dogg's queu, there is vodka's and Luke's.....both of them are offering the service free.....check the IP in this thread.....when you want to check the status of a queu server just go type the server name like this: http://129.130.176.109:5517/ that way you'll see how is the faring so far.....

Glad you join one of the fasters and coolest SETI@home teams on the 'Net.
