Ok thanks for the clarification. The main fallacy here is this though. Remember when we are predicting novel, unknown folds, we do not know which are 'good' or 'bad' samples. All we have is a pseudo-energy score which in some cases tells us which samples may possibly be somewhat decent. Thus we do not want to place to much reliance on this energy value (as we learned from CASP, its just not good enough yet to pick out the best structures). Thus even if a CPU generates 3 or 4 excellent structures in terms of RMSD, when we choose the top5 energies there is no guarantee they wil be in there. Anyhow, when we switch to trying a true genetic algorithm, the server will indeed keep pieces of the good-scoring samples and redistribute them to clients so that they will get used, that can be thought of as 'phase 3'...
To my way of thinking, the low quality algorithm suggests that you should be assigning the structures from the server instead of the clients. That way you can modify the algorithm used to select the 'best' structure dynamically on the server side. You could try using two or more different algorithms simultaneously until you determine which is the better one without any impact to the clients.
But if phase 3 will handle this then the point is probably moot. When do you anticipate phase 3 will begin?

Not getting through proxy !?!
Has anyone else noticed problems with getting through a proxy with the beta client !?!, i've recently tried running it on my work computer (which normally runs the 'old' client just fine) and cannot get through to the server... thinking i had done something wrong i doublechecked the proxy.cfg file and also copied it from my original working clients directory but still no dice...
It will stay on "checking for new versions" for a long time (probably some timeout) and then resume crunching but never uploading any results
After completing a generation there is also a long wait before anything happens (another timeout !?!) and i have lots of
ERROR: [000.000] {foldtrajlite.c, line 4721} Error during upload: NO RESPONSE FROM SERVER - WILL TRY AGAIN LATER
Lines in my error.log file
Is this suppoed to work at all with the beta or am i missing something !?!
