I guess the link in my signature doesn't work anymore. If you are still interested in joining, the same instructions can be found in an older thread:

As I don't work in the office anymore, my RC5 clients are slowly getting phased out by reinstalls. (As you can see). I'm going to try to get them online when I get back.

Hi mantapc,

When your computer is idle (and even when you're working on it) it will use all spare cpu cycles to do its work. It will only use "spare" cpu cycles so you will never experience a slowdown of any kind running it. Lemme know if you have any more questions. HTH

Is there any way I can set it up just to run when the screensaver kicks in?

If you install the application there is a .scr file included that does that for you. It's all explained in the documentation.

Hi,

When you doubleclick on the program in the taskbar to maximize it, it will give you that info. It will tell you how many packets you have left, how many packets are completed, your average speed in Mkey/s, estimated time of completion and a couple other things. HTH
