Folding Forum

It's obvious assignment servers don't really know or care whether each specific server is available from the client side, so they just keep assigning the same server over and over again. They are not good at monitoring job availability either, since they keep assigning the same server which has zero...

If Temple University, Cisco Toronto Innovation Labs, or anyone else is blocking entire IP ranges and/or throttling connection speeds for whatever obscure reasons, https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=38104 https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=361714#p361714 , that should have been their prob...

I tried Proton VPN and indeed vav17.fah.temple.edu (129.32.209.200) starts responding and jobs are assigned more consistently, but there are too many annoying regressions, such as connection speed and response time, stuttering YouTube videos, or surprisingly large number of sites randomly blocking V...

Cause preference has always been set to "Any". The servers keep assigning me to vav17.fah.temple.edu (129.32.209.200) which always fails to connect. BTW if I try to open the address in a web browser, it gives me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT and so do all other *.temle.edu work servers; others ...

For the last few weeks, I keep getting assigned to the same work server 129.32.209.200 (vav17.fah.temple.edu) that often has no public jobs available. I don't understand why I'm stuck at this particular one when there are a dozen other work servers that have literally thousands of GPU jobs each, acc...

Projects 17114 / 17116 are not real folding computations though, they're just a test/benchmak: https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/17114 https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/17116 This project contains a variety of benchmarking systems (with adjusted numbers of steps per system to give equal ...

FYI, an earlier forum thread on this same topic:

Is it possible to have multiple accounts & passkeys?

Yes, you now have six clients contributing: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/name/PeterHucker_GRC_53ed9d9b7d568cb7eb1ccc25a7dc4492 https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu?q=PeterHucker_GRC_53ed9d9b7d568cb7eb1ccc25a7dc4492 Failure rates seem a bit high though: https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus?use...

It's was unfortunate, but I would just mine these 150 units since it only takes a few weeks on a modern GPU. You could also register your username on a different email - for example, there are a few dozen users named 'Peter', each with a different passkey: https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus?user=P...

Basically, yes - though why would you 'clean your history' when you are only required to complete 80% of assignments before the deadline? To sum it up, users can be identified by a name and/or passkey, i.e. a pair of values. Name is mandatory - you have to set it in your client settings - but there ...

They were probably trying to limit bots parsing stats data from the dynamic pages instead of the database text export files, as outlined in their FAQ:
https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/s ... rent-stats

It's not a browser, web server or Internet connection problem. The pages on stats.foldingathome.org open just fine - it's the embedded script which loads page chunks for actual stats, and draws that orange progress bar on the top. It's either a performance degradation on the backend that renders sta...

I believe they start throttling database access when they think your browser makes too many requests to the web server. I've just refreshed several donor pages on my desktop PC, and the stats just stopped loading. I couldn't access them even on my phone. Yet when I turned off Wi-Fi and switch to mob...

Same problem, old log file ends on 23:59Z, new log file is never created. Had to pause and restart the client each morning. Reverted to V7 client for now...

Strangely enough, it did rolate succesfully for the first couple of days...

Unfortunately Wattage alone does not fly without lowering Max Frequencies slider as above - got an instant driver crash trying to play back a video in Microsoft Edge (Chrome).
