Yes. Indeed there was.
Can you sing "Lets doooooo the time warp AGAAAAAAAIN!" lol
2011 instead of 2012. >>facepalm<<
There is an update in progress which will finish in about 10 minutes.
I'll push a manual update as soon as that gets out of the way.

EDIT - results are up.

I need some technical support please.

Win 7 64-bit box running an Intel Q6600 CPU.

When it is configured to run Port=9000 tasks all is good.
Using prpclient.ini:
//server=G2000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:2000
server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000

When I modify the prpclient.ini file and try to start the application it briefly shows it tries to open a DOS box but this disappears immediately.
Using modified prpclient.ini:

server=G2000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:2000
//server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000

What is wrong?

Have you unfinished work left from 9000 ?

Finish them or remove them.

or change prpclient.ini when it is running to stopasapoption=2

Yes.

OK will do.

Or let this line be open //server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000
like this

server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000

change 100 to 0

server=G9000:0:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000

and it looks like this

server=G2000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:2000
server=G9000:0:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000

Open the command prompt and start the client manually. It will output a message with a description of the problem.

I'm surprised at the fact that my quad core i5-750, with about 16 complete per hour, places me dead last out of the active participants in the rally.
I'm using 32-bit cllr 3.8.4 to run the tests (my OS is 64-bit). Is there any better software to run for my hardware, or am I simply behind because of the others having more/better hardware?

odicin · 2012-02-19, 14:42

Try to use the actual 3.8.7 llr64 dev builds. In most cases there speedups at around 10% on 64bit systems.

You are doing extremely well in the stats if that is your only crunching rig.

I have 7 Phenom II cores running (3.35-3.6ghz) and your system is keeping up.

Ah, thanks, prompted by this I did some more searching and found the 64-bit Windows build.

Yes, that's my only rig. You're doing about 30/hour. Per core, you're doing slightly better than me, which is to be expected given the CPU (Intel generally runs FFTs faster than comparable AMD) and GHz (I'm 2.8 GHz) differences.

@ Lennart: has anything changed in your windows 7z download package?

I have downloaded it a few times today and after I update the master_prpclient.ini config file with my ID details etc and put in the line containing the port 9000 stuff (server=G2000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:2000) and //commenting out the other projects/ports the app fails with a Windows message (prpclient.exe is missing).

I have run the quad update batch file once (4-quad-update-prpclient.bat) and then try to run quad start (4-quad-start-prpclient.bat) and it says the prpclient.exe is missing. I also noticed that the 4 sub-directories that were created by the previous installation package are not made now with today's package (I guess that explains the missing prpclient.exe message).
