    FightAIDSatHome

    If anyone is looking for a new project try

    http://www.fightaidsathome.com/

    Seems like one of the 'better' causes...

    We have a Free-DC team with just two of us at the moment.

    Also, could be wrong on this but I think it rates the teams on Computer hours spend, not tasks completed, so could be good for slow boxes...

    Anyway, check it out...

    I went to investigate, seems there is some problem with their databases, so I'll check back later this evening.

    I ran this project a couple years ago (it's actually been around that long). The client is pretty good, but at the time, it was Windows only. Also, for those that want quick WUs, this might not be a good choice for you, as they take a good amount of time (typically).

    Yup, this project's around for quite some time. Clients's pretty stable but ... stats are very very confusing and INHO unusable...and FAAH page shows little (=no) news for almost 2 years and you don't know what you're working at - no targets, molecules...nada...they had other project (Safermarkets.org) and it ended and no press release was released and nobody told what/when/where/whose results are/will be....

    Phase 1 of FAAH just ended
    and second phase is underway

    Old stats will be available till end of May

    And sometime later this year, there should
    be LINUX and MacOS client!


    That's way to go!

    I've just signed up and installed the client on one PC (P4, 1500). How long do workunits usually take (hours, days, weeks?)

    Is there a Free-DC team yet? At signup I tried to join the team "freedc" (no special caracters seem to be allowed in the name), but this team didn't exist then ...

    You can typically (with the old client) do many WUs per day. I honestly have no idea how the new client fares. I know that there was a team for the old client as well, called Free-DC.

    Ok, thanks DP. I guess things will clarify after running the client for some time. They always had with other projects in the past.
