the more technical explanation.
download the
zipfile
unzip the files to a folder (doesn't matter where, you only need dnetc.com and dnetc.exe)
start command prompt ("start", "run", "cmd" in WinNT, "command" in Win9x)
go to folder where you unzipped the files.
create an ini file ("dnetc.ini") with the following code (replace e-mail)
Code:
[parameters]
id=fdv_finarch@flashmail.com
frequent=0
nofallback=1
[rc5]
preferred-blocksize=33
randomprefix=163
fetch-threshold=500
flush-threshold=500
then run "dnetc -install" this will install the client on your machine.
to really start the client do
for WinNT/2K "net start dnetc"
for Win9x "dnetc -svcstart"
this way the client is installed as a service.
to flush and fetch new blocks, do dnetc -update. This way you receive new work units to process, and the results are sent to server.
all configurations can also be done by double-clicking on the dnetc.exe file.
