Space Forum / SETI / January 2004

I am wanting to use setigate on a single pc with a dial up connection.
I have set up as far as I can, using the readme file. I have cached WU's and
am ready for processing. Problem is I cannot get the WU into seti.
"Appendix A" of setup instructions states that seti's socks proxy ...

   I have added two Celeron processors, 2.4 and 2.5 GHz to my home
network.  The first crunches SETI units in 4 hours, the second takes 16.
Both are running XP.  I know there are a number of ways to improve
SETI unit crunching by 10% or so, but I need something dramatic.

To All Friends...
I guess you have already heard... about processing power used by video cards
for computer games... now it can be used for SETI.

Is it normal that Setigate doesn't process cached units one after another.
All units are now processed until they reach 99,2% and then Setigate starts
to process the next cached unit. Why doesn't it process a unit until it's
100% done before it starts with the next unit?

I'm thinking about seting up a few computers I have laying around into a
cluster. I have 10+ Pentium I, II, Celeron, Duron and similiar setups.
What can I do with thoes? Can I make some linux setup so it encodes divx
more quickly? I know I can run seti on each machine, bat can I ...

I own two pc's that I've installed Seti on. One is a Gateway running
win98se with a 1ghz Pentium III and 512mb or ram, and the other is an
HPrunning Win XP Home with an Athlon 3000 2.167ghz and 1gb ram. It
takes the Gateway about 10 hours to complete a work unit, while the

I've been on it for awhile, very strange points system. Lots of glitches.
Seems like they are still very far from a finished product.

Can anyone provide a copy of the V3.08 Windows commandline client??
I've been trying to DL from Berkeley for 5 days, but it always times out,

Just received a Dell Inspiron 7000, 333Mhz, 64 MB RAM, WinXP Pro.  Installed
SETI, SETI Spy & SETI Driver.  Noticed after running SETI for a few minutes,
processor fan came on.  I realize that this is probably normal, as SETI is
processor intensive, but could I damage this laptop ...

I have setispy and setidriver working together, worked like a charm on
win98se, but I recently installed WinXP and windoze closes setispy after a
while, it happens to other programs too(flashget and some other) when I
leave the PC on during the night; setidriver and crunching works ...
