Here's the problem, from "unitinfo.txt":

Current Work Unit
-----------------
Name: p864_p53dimer864
Download time: May 17 04:16:35
Due time: June 30 04:16:35
Progress: 2% [__________]

I'm only 2% done of one sodding unit!

Sigh. At least I know it's taking it in.

Ig, those work units take a loooooooong time to process. I've been running it since Feb 7th, and have only completed 16 of the bastards. And I specifically tell the process to go ahead and gobble up 25% of my CPU, all the time.

I think you can set the size of the work units in the software soemplace. Make it give you smaller chunks to process.

I just joined the team. Not sure how fast my system is but I'm running a 2.4 P4 with 1.5 gig of ram.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Cool, and I'm about to complete another big one. Been crunching it for a couple weeks.

So, if anyone is looking to donate some computing time to a worthwhile project... sign up!

Yeah, we could use some more people...there's only 7 of us there. Maybe we could make s "sticky" or something on the front page?

I can't find our team on that site.

The reason is that site only goes down to the 2000th ranked team. We're lower than that, as you see on our team page.
