Distributed Amiga pushed down to 4th!

How do I join this, can I just use my P4 to do this ?

My Miggymiga would not stand up to it

I suppose you could use an amiga client on Winuae/Amiga Forever but you would lose a fair bit of CPU grunt to the emulation.

I have loaded the W32 version, and i have churned 2 lots of jobs.. Make sure you Config up properly.

In the config, go to option 2 (Buffer and Buffer update options, select 9 (load-work precedence) and make sure it reads "OGR-P2, RC5-72=0" (The =0 IS IMPORTANT, without it, it will complete a job on OGR, then switch to RC5), this command TELLS the client to IGNORE RC5.

I cannot get into stats to join Amiga team, as stats site is down.

Can I just add...

Those running PC platforms... upgrade to the latest "PRE" release.  These are quite streamlined compared to the Stable, and on my P4-2.53.. i have gained around 10 Million nodes a second increase of processing.

This could be a reason we have dropped..

@boing.

I can clear things up for you...  

You can run it as One *OR* the other.

Service mode, you are right, you will not get the pretty graph indicating whats going on
Client mode - pretty graph.

If you run it as a SERVICE, then you have 2 ways to keep track of what its doing..

1) run the service with LOGGING set to output to a SHARED drive.. this tells you in a text format, everything that it is doing, from what packet its working on, to Mnodes a second processing rate.

2) run one of the available Distributed.net proxies.. and pull the stats from that.

The second way, the proxy is more aimed for people with LOTS of clients.. one person on IRC claims to run a proxy for around 200 clients (corporate network), so I would recommend just outputting a LOG from the service to a shared drive, and checking the log when you feel you want to.

I do this for the wife's machine, I just log into the shared drive and check the log.
