I'm sick and tired of debugging the seti client.
No any work unit was accounted since 18 Mar 20005.

So, instead of lloosing time, I switch to einstein only until someone fixes the buggy seti client.

Well, I'm into Folding@Home now, because I hate the Boinc/seti/Mac client.
The F@H software is easy to use on the Mac OSX, there is also a screensaver version for those who like the Seti/Classic and would like to have a useful screensaver again. ;)

It really pisses me off when someone says "there's a bug" and doesn't say what the bug is.

Read the Forum, he came with this bug question earlyer !
Read the tread: Bug in setiathome_4.02_powerpc-apple-darwin.

IT REALLY PISSES ME WHEN SOMEONE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS TALKING ABOUT YET STILL THINKS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY! Could you spend 5 minutes and READ THE FORUM CAREFULLY instead of writing such a crap?
I started the bug thread and I quit as it goes to nowhere.

I'm reading your post. It says "I'm sick and tired of debugging the seti client. No any work unit was accounted since 18 Mar 20005. So, instead of lloosing time, I switch to einstein only until someone fixes the buggy seti client."

What bug? If you've mentioned it earlier, why not post the link? You don't even need to <a href=""> it.

To your credit, you didn't stop crunching.

> Could you spend 5 minutes and READ THE FORUM CAREFULLY instead of writing such a crap?
Because you didn't spend two minutes of effort and post the bug. I don't see you having listed a single symptom here.

As for "writing such a crap", I obviously can't compete with the likes of you.

You say you read it?

How about this:

Hi there,

apparently there is a bug in the client (used by Menu Bar): it corrupts remaining work units after uploading results. I saw this four or five times. The pattern is:
- The client downloads couple of units (three in my example - I set exchange for 2 days),
- after the first unit is completed, it uploads it's results,
- then it DOES NOTHING but deferring communication with the project and increasing wait timer. The ~/Library/Application Support/Boinc Data/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/ folder contains the remaining units, but ~Library/Application Support/Boinc Data/slots/1/ is EMPTY (slot 1 because slot 0 is einstein on my machine).

The only way to get ride of this is to reattach to the project loosing remaining work units. When I go to RESULTS statistics, I can see the unfinished units as I PROGRESS. But they're already gone.

Who can fix that?
