NICE. I Finally got over my first Day's numbers! I do feel like switching to use my laptop more made a good difference, though I am excited to see what my numbers are like tomorrow where I literally will not have used my desktop besides occasionally remoting into it to check on it.

Add the laptop on low priority too for a few random bonus points.  Keep a few threads free so you won't notice much while doing other basic work.

Looks like the v7.6.20 client is available for download from the FAH site now.  Didn't see an announcement about it or release notes.  Anyone know what's new in that build?

welp, i managed to overload the little SFX 700W PSU in my main rig overclocking the 2080's.

sadly it shit the bed at 3AM, so i didn't find out untill this morning. that's gonna drop me some places in the list.

I got both of mine unstuck. 1 only took me about 10 mins. the other i had to mess about for nearly 2 hours to get unstuck.

How does one go about un-sticking sending a unit?

I'm having issues sending to 140.163.4.231 on two different internet connections.

The only way I know to do it is in Client Advanced Control click Pause then Fold. This should cause a new upload attemp and reset the upload attemp timer. Other more exeriened folders may have a better way.

After more digging around on google, i found out that this particular working server is also the collection server and it's notorious for having issues.

My advice would be to drop the WU if you get it.

don't dump WU's.

What i mean is, if the server's bad, and it won't collect the data at all, it will expire anyway.

My reasoning was that it's a waste of computing power if this particular server has issues, not the project WU per se.

 

 

Or in other words, if you're a bit more competitive, avoid this server for a while.

while I agree with you, the client may dump these WU's itself after failing to send results for too long anyway. This hasn't happened to me much outside of a handful of times during the crazy busy folding event last year so you're better off just letting it ride. While we may be slightly competitive it's in the spirit of encouraging more folding not cut throat tactics that throw the WU assignment system into disarray

Though you would think people who set up what team they contribute to would also have set up their passkey and username

Some people do not like publicity.

It won't expire, server cannot "be bad", it just happens from time to time, they get stuck or full with data, it will collect the WU when it's ready, there is nothing you could do, and dumping WU is the worst thing you can do as someone else then has to fold it all over again and you get

As I said above, this is not advised nor smart thing to do.

@yaboistar @Favebook Understoood.

 

My bad for not actually reading the F@h TOS too, i guess.

 

Thanks for setting me straight.

[d0ks]

Well...

Something's definitely up with the collection servers.

Ahh, makes sense, server issues are ALWAYS a part of the larger folding events, we have learned to live with such a thing 

[GrockleTD]

Nice

Oh, and as I've just seen the leaderboard, it would seem that I have passed you @marknd59

Issue solved by reinstalling folding client.
