new to Mersenn. Need help

Hello

I'm using a MAC intel machine and downloaded the MAC 64 bit client. It seems to be code that only runs in Terminal and every time I load it into Terminal I have to go through the same initialization questions and specify how many hours I will be on and what type of work I want. I accept the default values for the type of work and enter values for the length of work from 2-5 hours. It does not download any work for me.

1. Did I download the proper client?
2. What should I be entering in "'Type of work" and for the online time?
3. Is there a way to configure the client to load automatically and log on to the host automatically?

Thanks.

Welcome Mike1947,
I don't have a MAC (Intel or otherwise) but I might be able to point you in the right direction. Check out this link http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=11825 in the software section of this forum.
