For test purpoises, i installed f@h on my mother's computer. I thought naively the WU downloaded would be as small as the one sent to my celeron. Now i have asked my mother to let her computer work during he workday. Embarrasing. I have clicked the "finish" button but on my celeron it didn't prevent f@h to send me another WU.

What shall i do ?

Also, could someone point me to the page in the docs or FAQ ? I must be retarded but i havent found it.

And finally, i have a small stats problem: when i enter my passkey in the stats page, it shows me two account in two different tems with the same name. Both of them cannot be me because they have way too much points.

EDIT: for the stats: if i enter my passkey only, i get a one line entry with my nick and a correct credit and WU and team number but if i click on the name i get many Deadaluses , none of them being me. No biggie

Thanks in advance to whoever will respond.

A lot of names have been used multiple times on different teams, and there is no way to stop that, others are less popular and so can be tracked by name alone - like mine.. This is one of the reasons why passkeys are so useful.

As for the WU problem - clicking finish does work as long as you don't shut down the clients at any point before the WU finishes, if you do shut down you need to re click finish when you reload the client.

If you press Finish before the current WU reaches the "next-unit-percentage" (by default, 99%) no new WU should be downloaded and the current WU should finish and upload, leaving FAHClient running, but idle. Restarting FAHClient (perhaps by rebooting) or pressing Fold will download a new WU and resume work.

To disable obtaining a new WU, you can either change the installation so FAH doesn't restart after a reboot or you can configure a setting pause-on-start with the value true.

(One of them must be you.)

If you enter only a passkey, you'll get the stats for everybody who has used that passkey (normally just one name). If you enter only a name, you'll get all information that has been submitted by someone using that name, whether using the same passkey or on the same team or not. Entering both a passkey and a name will list only those stats which match both the passkey and the name.
