It's a big ask, who's up to help us do it.

I added 2 more boxen last week, hope to add another 2 this week.

We might if we can get a few more boxen.

But if its just you and me, then I guess it might be quite a climb. :smoking:

I really like DPAD and would like to help out, but we have to finish what you already started over at R@H Fozzie :D

I would help a little, though I dislike the client personally, but the non-standard windows ftp solution does not work through my OpenBSD firewall..

you me, Longbow, Excaliber and IB could make it.

It all depends on what amount of GHZ stays crunching the project.

I hope to have 15 boxen on it soon.

With Rosetta nearly a done deal I'll be swinging more towards DPAD.

I just put Muon on my new work PC (P4 3.4) so I hope to add a little more to my daily. When my co-worker gets his new one I hope to throw the client on his as well.

with a couple of big projects closing down it is not surprising to see some renewd focus on the good old classics.
Someone else has the same idea...

I wonder if Stephen's servers are ready for all this ?

With your megadumps, I think we can get 4th in no time.

Come on Free-DC :rock:

What stats are you looking at? The DPAD site seems to show us already in 4th ???:confused:

and they tally with DPC's too. I sometimes visit their forums.

1,711,511 left to go looks like Christmas Eve will see us :beep: past USD and onwards to :stomp: SETI Germany.

mine are wrong too... :(

I'm working on trying to get them fixed, but the problem is that the .txt files that DPAD release are incomplete. Hopefully Stephen will fix this and we'll get better stats soon....

So, which stats should we be looking at?

I am :confused:

You and me both. I just wrote a quick parser for the simplestats.txt, but the sum of the users within each team does not add up to the team score on the official site...

At this point I'm not sure it's possible to get correct scores from the files we are provided. Don't know if Stephen is willing to work with me, but I'll give it a go...

hmm, I've found a couple of discrepancies

for instance in simplestats I see

jkusuda[Free-DC] 18055 6222299.5 389

Fozzie[Free-DC.org] 107698 38930635.8 4



unclefluffy[Free-dc.org] 783 27330.2 13615

My parser pulls the teamname from within the [] so in this case
creates three seperate teams

it's a bit fscked. I don't know how Stephen 'knows' that this is all one team.
Perhaps he has a master list of the teams somewhere and as long as it contains,
for example Free-DC (non case sensitive) it's ok..

I'll ask.
