Just how many minutes did it take you to download the client? You seem to have spent a lot more time trying to solve a really small problem. 6 minutes. :-) Yes, you are right. Most probably I am too spoiled and used to dowload at higher speeds. Still the thought of the community contributing also o...

Thanks you all for the answers: I understand and somehow expected them. I was enthusiastic about the idea of helping by sharing our bandwidth. I will download the client once more and keep a copy locally so I don't have to wait next time... :-) ... P.S. Would it be considered illegal to host the cli...

Dear all, I have downloaded the client a few times in the past weeks and I have noticed that the download is kind of slow. I was wondering if a torrent could be a viable solution to distribute the client to all the users withouth having to pay bandwidth or space on a server. Should this not be viabl...

I did what you suggested and I confirm, it works.

Thanks a lot.

Dear all, when I open the Folding@home 3D visualization program I get the image of what I believe is a demo. As all other information regarding the current work, donor details etc are empty I have the feeling that the software is not showing the actual protein which I am working on but just a demo. ...

CPU is working all the time.

On the contrary, GPU is never working.

It disturbs me a little.

I have managed to access the ubuntu computer via VNC. I believe that what I was missing was the following command: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false as described in the following webpage: https://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop . Now I have anoth...

Dear all, I have indeed double checked and the passkey was not properly configured. After that PPD has gone up to 300k as forecasted. Thanks to all and sorry for the waste of time. P.S. I only need to understand of to get remote desktop access to this computer which is running ubuntu 18.04. The solu...

Hello Joe_H,

I have the passkey, absolutely. I have created a new one for that new "user".

I will be looking for some used hardware and see what I can come up with.

Best, m.

Just a little update. The PPD is well below what the card should be able to supply (300k).

I am afraid I will have to upgrade motherboard and CPU.

This post helped me too. Just finished installing ubuntu and it was not possible to fold on the GPU (GTX970) for the very same reason. Once I reinstalled the Opencl as per the suggested command it worked fine.

Thanks.

Correct, thanks!

Dear bruce, thanks for your message. The GPU I am going to use will be the Gainward GTX970, which of course is not the latest model, by far. :-D It is though, much younger than the motherboard, this is why I was wondering if it would make sense to fit it on. I understand that I will have to test it ...

I have an even older computer lying around which I thought would not be useful as way too old (year 2007). It works with: ASUS P5KE: Specifications on ASUS site Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66Ghz 4GB RAM The GPU requires PCI Express 3.0 x 16 The motherboard has one PCI Express x 16 but, I am not sure if...

Dear all, I have a Gainward GTX970 which is still working and which provides around 300k PPD: I would like to build a computer around it and dedicate it to F@H. What hardware do you suggest? The computer I was using the GTX970 on is configured as follows: CPU: I5-4670 3.4GhZ Mainboard: Asus TUF Gryp...
