Hello mycrofth,
sorry I didn't asked these questions in another thread, I will remember this in the future  But please allow me to answer your questions here ... I'm running the UD-agent for windows and I was crunching a HPF task, certainly not a FAAH. Maybe some software failure occured... I will wait and see if the WU that is running at the moment holds 'till the end, if not I'll post new questions in the Windows Support forum. |

Indeed, I'm from The Netherlands myself, but I have to admit that I prefer the Flemish language over the real Dutch language. It just sounds better!  I agree with that. And besides from our language ... it is said all over the world our beer is much better too! |

And besides from our language ... it is said all over the world our beer is much better too! Oh yeah, I can definately confirm that!  I'm so glad that the normal beer "Jupiler" is now available in Holland too!  And all the special beers you have are really good as well!But back on topic: Has your pc completed a new workunit already?   |

But back on topic: Has your pc completed a new workunit already? no it is working on a big one I think ... 49% in 17 hours 50 minutes ... my wife left the PC running today while I was at work, just to check if the WU is going to stop before it reaches the 100 % like it did the very first time. From what I read in these forums there are very large WU's lately. I also considered to use BOINC instead of the UD-agent but I'm not sure that will be an improvement when it comes to speed. |

There should be no difference in speed between BOINC and UD since the science application is the same. Also - this type of distributed computing project will definitely be able to take advantage of a computer that is only on for a couple of hours a day. So please feel free to install the software and continue using your computer as you normally would. thanks for joining! |

Ok, no problem, I'll keep the UD-agent running ( 57 % in 21 hours ... that 's a large WU I presume  ) |
