Ok, got attached and am trying it out on a P4 2.8E.

We'll see how it goes :)

The download of the software doesn't work on their site, so I downloaded from the CPDN site instead.

There seems to be plenty of WU's for Windows OS's but none for Nix's

They have suspended sign up's.
Looks like Free-DC will only have 2 members for a while.

The wu's are a bit long. Even with an AMD 64 3000+ they take more than 7 hours! Is it normal?

Normally they take about 30 mins.

Recently some longer WU's have been released perhaps you are crunching them.
It all depends how many turns you are simulating it could be 10,000, 100,000
or more.

What are your WU's called ?
I guess they are the recently introduced tunescand

The entire GUI reminds me of KaZaa.

Does anyone feel the same way? :D
