Two Quick Suggestions

[AMDPHREAK]

Neither is really Client related, so just a "whenever" kind of thing, but...

1) Do the locality stats/graphs need to load every time the stats page does? If you are trying to optimize bandwidth (and who isn't) wouldn't this make sense to put on a separate page with a link on the stat page? Us Stat Ho's rarely check that info but commonly re-load the stat page. Just some quick math... 170K of images times ~ 2300 users checking an average of once per day (conservative: I re-load at least 5x/day) equals almost 400MB/day you could be freeing up.

2) How about a page that links to such sites as DFGui and Dyyryath's stat pages - i.e. the DF "related" sites which support this grand effort. I've been trolling here for months and just stumbled across my first linked reference to Dyyryath's page. If such an "external links" page exists and I managed to miss it, could we make it more visible?

Now get back to debugging! :trash: :jester:

Would you be looking for this? Most of the FreeDC gang (or maybe it's just me) loads these pages up a lot during the day....


Dyyryaths Stats Page (http://stats.zerothelement.com/cgi-bin/distributed-folding/render-teams.pl)

Thanks for the effort, but unfortunately you misunderstood (due to my vague phrasing which I editied and fixed)

I was looking for sites other than the ones I listed, as I just found the same link as yours earlier today in another thread which gave me the idea for the links page. But thanks for trying to help! :cheers:

there is in fact exactly such a page, if you go to distributedfolding.org, click on about and then "stuff" you get this: http://www.distributedfolding.org/coolstuff.html

I can't speak for the project's website, but if you guys want to come up with a list of links you think are useful, I can make them sticky at the top of this forum. Howard & his crew would also be able to add to or 'adjust' the list as necessary.

I updated the STICKY Welcome message :thumbs: :)

Besides just stats in the Welcome forum, it might also be nice to add some 3rd party apps to help users out like:

dfGUI: http://gilchrist.ca/jeff/dfGUI/

DCMonitor: http://www.bluetentacle.co.uk/dcmonitor/

And any others I have forgotten.

Good idea, DP. I didn't notice that he hadn't added the monitoring stuff. It's up there now. :thumbs:
