I thought this was kinda weird. I've never seen something like it before.

Well, as it turned out, it was just interference i guess.
The unit finished in 2 minutes.


Hey, has anybody thought of doing this?:
I just did a 2 minute unit. then i give the unit out to my team members, and they can do a two minute unit as well.
then the team can be boosted a bit.
i know it's bad and immoral and all that stuff, but hey, i'm a bad boy.

Thank the lord for trash cache!
I found the work unit.
So if anybody wants it...

I've been thinking about this. It's like the Ars Technica benchmark unit. Anyone who did that unit got a slightly faster time.
Well I'll just call this doc's benchmark unit

That's earthbound interference.

I guess my 6100 could use a unit that takes less then 100 hours.
Just tell me how to put it in, and how to do it without losing what is currently crunching.

Been running SETI Unit Manager for a while, since I got a new G4 last Nov. It works real well for a non-connected Mac. My 8500 sits in the bedroom and crunches 24/7, I rarely interrupt it. The G4's in the living room, connected to DSL. I transfer the WU's via Zip disk. Cut to the chase...

Doc,

that unit is crunching on my computer.
17hrs and counting.
It hasn't finished.
I saw that screenshot of yours, and I saw the same thing on my screen, but it crunched right on by.

What version are you running?

I was using 3.0 and it stops at 2 minutes.

were you using 3.03? maybe that would take longer because it process way more.

I'm using 3.03.
I think that it skipped the bad part, because at current speed the unit will take 96 or so hours, down from the 110-130 that it normally takes.
