I will be on vacation for a week and I want to keep crunching. However, I have a dial-up connection so I can't (and dont want to) stay connected all week. Is there anything I can do to have a week worth of work to process while I'm away (short of hoping I get lucky and am assigned a large Protein A molecule to fold)?

You could run RC5 and ask for 168 hours of work.

Or if you have enough RAM you could run multiple processes along with RC-5, so that they all take a long time <grin>. i.e one folding Gui, 1 folding CLI, 1 SETI and a bunch of RC-5. That ought to keep your processor busy for a few days.

If you take too long on a folding process it gets assigned to someone else.

I *think* you still get credit for it- but it doesn't help the project.
Work units can expire very quickly.

I would recommend putting folding on hold for the week and doing rc5 or seti

You can cache a weeks worth of seti by using seti proxy- I have a customized (OS X) version at http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/

RC5 is probably the best answer, though-
