Folding Forum

I have multiple machines running this program and I have to ask, why is the time between attempts start to become hours long? why is it not set to every 10 or 15 minutes? I have 2 machines i have to keep closing the client out and opening it back up because the attempt time becomes 1 hour or more.

The retry timer increases for each failed attempt, in order to not overload the servers and generate extra traffic if a server goes offline for some time. You can however reset the timer by pausing and unpausing, though considering the fact that the servers are already overloaded, please be mindful of doing this, perhaps only doing that when the timers extend beyond 30 or 60 minutes or so.

Understandable. I have had wait times that have hit 4 hours+ before. Just thought it was a little confusing is all. Thank you for the clarification.
