I'm really touched, all this hard work finally pays off.

Need more ... servers ... must have ... more cycles.

Way to go! Not to mention that all these cycles help our team tremendously...thanks.

[mosquito]

no problem, but we need more people on the team to get it really going.

By the way, I ordered 2 new dual 800's, so you should notice a boost in keyrate in a few weeks.

[Skinny Boy]

I do agree though, we have 23 members on the team, and 5 that contribute. Granted you blow us all away mosquito, but you have a few more computer's running this than the average person.

Are we all just duplicating key's, or are we all working on different key's? I filtered out all the other project's and only run the RC5, is that what you are doing?

[Floppyman]

I currently run only RC5...I think we all do different keys..don't we? Not real sure. I'm gonna soon setup another machine(K6-3+ 450) and will run RC5 on it as well, that should help us out some more.

I've been completely swamped lately. Running only two clients, I have access to several labs, just haven't had the time to load the client...hopefully soon, just how many machines are you running mosquito?

[mosquito]

Euh, let's see.
1 dual PIII 500
2 PIII 800
1 PIII 733
1 PII 333
2 PIII 600
4 PII 400
1 dual C 600

and 2 dual PIII 733's are ordered. But do note that those machines are not always on. And I install dnet on our test systems when I pass by. But those are reformatted almost every week so, it depends.
You could say that dnetc is always running on 10 to 15 machines

(Sorry for my late reply, but I was on a snowboarding trip)

The distributed net servers distributed every block of keys only once until the keyspace is exhausted, then the servers re-distribute the blocks that haven't been returned, starting with the oldest blocks. At that time the project progress is re-calculated. So the total project progress you can see now is not correct because it displays the blocks that have been distributed, and not the ones that have been returned.

I used to have the client installed with the logon script, but I had to quit doing it because the portables in the company didn't like it.

It's very easy to install the clients with the logon script.
To do it, make a share dnet under the netlogon share, and copy dnetc.exe, dnetc.com and dnetc.ini to that folder. Then append the following code to the logon script

@echo off
if exist "c:\program files\dnet\dnetc.ini" goto :END
echo installing distributed.net client
pushd "c:\program files"
md "dnet"
cd dnet
popd
copy dnetc\*.* "c:\program files\dnetc\"
"c:\program files\dnet\dnetc" -install
net start dnetc
echo finished installing distributed.net client
:END

This script is intended for windows NT (or 2K), so I don't know if it will work on win9x.
