Interesting folding development,
http://kakaostats.com/usum.php?u=863079 As you can see that in less than two days Client, folding for the Cell Bandits team got 3,689,561 points. Cell Bandits is Sony's R&D department. Most PS3's get around 900 points per day, so is this PS4 testing ?? hehe Got to make you wonder tho! What, how, how many, and why.
Exactly, super computer, Sony has been saying it but I never believed it.
Average for 24 hours is 2,270,499 points per day, a single PS3 gets 870 ppd = 2,610 PS3's folding So either the R&D department is very large or they did something else, like make a super PS3 computer (obtw FAH says 3 units folding, which doesn't really mean much but interesting). I can't wait to find out, and I am sure they will be telling us soon.
damn.. went over my bandwidth limit per week (I get 10G per week), so I'm gonna leave F@H off for a while. While I did just reset it, I wanna make sure that it is indeed F@H using up all the bandwidth I get. ... sad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm using my PS3 and my computer for folding, so I'm not sure on the downloads it does. Since my bandwidth is both upload and download, everytime there's an update, my PS3 / Computer upload 10MB every 30 mins, which adds up to a lot (about 1/2 a gig a day!). So for folding uploading there seems to be 3.5GB/week just on uploading. (not 100% sure on this). And then I've noticed that something gets download that varies in size (between 1-3GB) in 90 minutes, and that's normally when I'm sleeping or away, so I'm turning off F@H on my PS3 and my computer for a week, which makes my bandwidth reset pointless, but maybe I'll see if it is indeed the Folding downloading a ton or something else. At least the router, wireless it is, is secured, but idk what the code is or the login is either...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my ps3 is on break right now, as is my pc, so I'm not folding at the current moment. probably should go check to see if my bandwidth is really low as it hasn't been running since like wed.
... edit: and like I thought, since I stopped folding, my usage per day is next to nothing. I suppose I can go ahead and start folding again if I desire.

I'm having a weird problem, folding 2 sends and receives work correctly, but not folding1. I've set Comodo to allow the exe to accept just about any type of connection, i even started up some Windows services i disable when i first install it. They each have their own directory, machine ID and run with "-configonly -advmethods -forceasm -local" tags
 I've noticed it sends the work to different servers, could that be the problem??? Isn't it weird it receives WUs, but can't send them back? The X2 is having no problems.
Can you double check to see if the "use internet explorer settings" configuration item is set to no on the client with the problem?
I'm thinking of getting into folding. As far as I understand it, just download/run the software. I've got the general concept of why, all of the people running this together gets them more processing power than they could on their own, to run simulations/tests. I guess I've only really got two questions. How much of my system's resources will this eat (I'm assuming just about all of it. A leave it running when you go to bed program.), and how do you run this on a PS3?
Hello distort, good to have you join us 8)
Humanoid_1 Well some WU's like cache and some like speed with out much regard for cache. It depends also on if you are going to run single instances or SMP folding (which is where the big points are at). With normal WU's a few WU's are very sensitive to large caches and score a lot of extra points, however it is very hit a miss if you are going to get one of the good ones. In smp folding a quad core 6600 seems to give up a lot of what the dual core e6600 gains from the large cache, because of it's slow fsb communications. A quad core vs a dual core using the standard SMP client folding folding a common WU 2653 the dual core will score 2100 ppd while the quad will do 26-2700ppd (points per day), no not even close to twice as fast. There are ways around this restriction on Quads but they are much more intrusive and pretty much require a folding only solution. Also overclocking is going to speed up any wu and that depends on your mb as well as your cpu. A Q6600 1066 fsb with a high multiplier vs a 1333 fsb processor with a low multiplier should be much easier to oc, if they start out at the same speed and have the same potential. So the new generation should be faster at folding on some WU's because of cache, and it may oc better or at least as well. However, it will probably require a much more expensive mb and better ram to do so. Either should perform well at folding. Heya synanjin,
thanks for the info, didn't know about the SMP client yet lol I think I will try and hold out a little while longer and see how the new chips turn out  was planning on shelling out for high end RAM anyway, so hopefully can OC one of those just as well as the current Q6600 welcome to the team distort ^^ bye for now Welcome to the team bud! Great to have another PS3 on board. Stick around the forums too. We're always looking for new faces to join our ranks. ...bysmitty
